Jirina is Czech in Origin.

Jirina (Czech Jiřina) is the Czech feminine form of Jiří, equivalent to Georgina, from Greek Georgios, georgos meaning farmer or earthworker. In Czech it also names the dahlia (jiřina), echoing an older botanical synonym Georgina; this lends the name floral associations alongside its agrarian sense of a tiller of the soil.

Use in the Czech lands rose in the 20th century and remains familiar, borne by actress Jiřina Bohdalová, poet Jiřina Hauková, and sociologist Jiřina Šiklová. Spelling without diacritics (Jirina) appears internationally. A common diminutive is Jiřinka; related forms are Georgina, Georgia, Georgine, and the Czech male Jiří. Distinctive for its ř sound at home yet accessible abroad in simplified spelling, the name balances sturdy, earthy roots with a refined, floral image.
