Varghese

Varghese, Varughese, Verghese, Geevarghese, Varughis, and Varkey are Syriac–Malayalam variants of the Assyrian Syriac/Aramaic Christian name Giwargis/Gewargis/Givargis (George). The pronunciation from Syriac/Aramaic was naturally adapted to fit the vowels of the local dialect. It is given as first, middle, or last name among the Syrian Christians. Many names of this community are a combination of Hebrew and Aramaic names that have been adapted into the local dialect.
