[Baldric]

Saint George was born in Turkey to a Turkish father and Palestinian mother. He lived in the Middle East and died at the hands of the Romans who persecuted him because of his faith

He was a turk.

[ichkeria]

There was no such country as Turkey when St George was born: he was indeed Greek (Cappadocian) . In those days what is now modern Turkey - essentially Thrace and Anatolia - wasn’t particularly Turkic.

[spathiphyllum]

he was actually roman so who really knows.

[ichkeria]

He was a subject of the Ronan empire of course as were a huge proportion of Europeans at that time but Capoadocian Greek does appear to be his ethnic background.
And his name is Greek.
