Etymologically, the entry records: The parish is named after Saint George. Georges is the French form (compare the names of the other two parishes, Saint Peter and Saint Anthony). Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is Saint Georges, spelled S-A-I-N-T- -G-E-O-R-G-E-S, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
