Er...Eric...Arrack...Urrak...
Nomine sanctus Georgius transmutandum:-)
I have found more regional/interesting variations of the dragon-killer...
In his very orginal Lebanon he was GEVGES...
However, his Greek patronymic, Georgius, is currently used in
Lebanon, Syria region awa Russia.
In Scandinavia he becomes Sankt Göran (Goran)
Finland, he is most popular as PYHÄ YRJÖ (Pyha Yrjo) as well as YRJÄNÄ
(Yrjanae).
While Russia officially calls him Georgius he is most ubiquitous as JURI.
Quite eclectically endowed by his legion followers...isn't he...
I supose the dragon would simply have muttered: Here comes my Nemesis...
started, resignedly, stoking his fires...
I wonder, in Goa, had he been bestowed a Hindu version of his name...the poor
fellow
would have been considered a dithering coward?
One wonders...one does...does'nt one?
Alfred, from the land of S:t Goran Drake, where he is hero...

You have kept a keen eye on my long and Quixotic quest to uncover the
language and related nomenclature underpinnings of our human saga.
I place an emphasis on 'our human.' A wonderful gift, language can also
become a tool that helps sow dissonance: all very sad. Eric.
Eric, by Avram and Jove you rock. Rock on Arrik.
