The village of Agios Georgios is known as "Agios Georgios Sylikou" or "Agios Georgios Agkathiotis". According to tradition, the surname Agathiotis was taken during the Turkish era, because the conquerors did not manage to set foot in the village, since the dense vegetation of thorns did not allow the Turkish conquerors to proceed to the village. In honor of Saint George, who was and has been to this day the patron saint of the village, he was attributed the surname Agathiotis.
