Georgia

Georgia is a proper noun used primarily as a female given name and as the name of a U.S. state and several places worldwide. In pronunciation and usage, it often carries a soft first syllable and a stressed second syllable, with typical American, British, and Australian pronunciations aligning on /ˈdʒɔːr.dʒə/ in many contexts. When referring to the state, you’ll commonly hear a longer /ɔː/ or /ɔːr/ vowel in the first syllable depending on accent.
