The name George is often used in Turkish joke or anecdote structures to represent a 'foreign outsider' or a person from a different culture.
While 'George' is used in modern Turkish contexts, the name's traditional Turkish equivalent is Yorgo, a form often used by the Greek-speaking-influenced communities in Turkey.
Because the name is non-native, a Turkish speaker might treat George as a foreign loanword that does not follow standard Turkish vowel harmony rules in casual speech.
