Six British monarchs reigned under the name George. Only the first five were named George from birth, though - George VI was actually named Albert, but adopted the name George to establish continuity with his father, George V, after the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII.

Six. George I was the elector of Hanover and the nearest heir to the the throne who was Protestant. The Act of settlement provided that only his mother's descendants could ascend the British Throne. Although he spoke very little English he became King of the UK. George II was his son and spoke fluent English albeit with a strong German accent. George III was George II's grandson and inherited the throne as his father had already died. He is still the longest reigning British (or English) King and is currently only surpassed by Queen Victoria in both age at death and length of reign (the current Queen will surpass his age this year). George III went mad towards the end of his life and his son became Prince Regent, upon George III's death, the Prince Regent became George IV. He was succeeded by his brother William IV who was succeeded by his niece Victoria.
Victoria was succeeded by her son Edward VII who was succeeded by his son George V, his oldest son succeeded as Edward VIII but abdicated as he wanted to marry Wallis Simpson who was unacceptable to Parliament. Consequently his next eldest brother succeeded to the throne as George VI and he was succeeded by his daughter Elizabeth II.
Prince Charles has indicated he may reign as George VII (his last middle name is George) rather than Charles III.

Yep, six. The current Prince Charles has suggested he adopt "George VII" if he ascends the throne in honour of his Grandfather. Apparently several recent British monarchs have ruled under a different name from that they are generally known by in 'private life'.
