He was born in Germany, where the name is spelled Georg. His preferred name is George II because he was the king in a place where English is spoken, so that name is in English.

Guelph is the last name and believe it or not my ancestor as well. I am doing what their gravesites are saying their names are King George Guelph is from the House of Hannover and Hannover is not the last name. Boy what confusion when Hannover is just listed. It is the name of the place in Germany where King George Guelph was from. Is there anyway to change Hannover - to the House of Hannover?
