Georgian

/ˈdʒɔːr.dʒən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the country of Georgia, its people, language, or culture, or historically referring to the period when Kings George ruled Britain.

Etymology

When referring to the country, from the Persian name 'Gurğān'; when historical, from the names of British monarchs George I-IV (1714-1830). The architectural style 'Georgian' reflects the elegant design of that era.

Kelly Says

Georgian architecture is so perfectly balanced that it created an entire aesthetic movement—those symmetric windows and doors were inspired by classical Greek temples, making 18th-century houses look like mathematical art!
