Geordie accent descends from a dialect that emerged 1500 years ago with the Anglo-Saxon settlers. Geordie accent has its roots in working-class industry and mining.

Actually, it was the most popular name for eldest sons in the region.
Geordi accent can be found mainly in Newcastle upon Tyne, a city of around 260.000 inhabitants, and in the lands east and south of Newcastle along the valley of the River Tyne as far as the North Sea.
