What is the meaning of the name Jordi ?

The baby name Jordi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Catalan: /ˈʒɔɾði/ (approx. "ZHOR-ði" — 'zh' as in measure, final sound like the voiced 'th' in this); English: /ˈdʒɔːrdi/ (approx. "JOR-dee").

Jordi is Catalan in Origin.

Jordi is the Catalan form of George, from Greek Georgios (geōrgós), “earth-worker” or “farmer,” combining gē “earth” and ergon “work.” It is standard across Catalan-speaking regions (Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearics) and remains distinct from the unrelated name Jordan. Cognates and near-equivalents include English George, Spanish/Portuguese Jorge, French Georges, Italian Giorgio, German Georg, Dutch Joris, and the Greek Georgios; feminine relatives in the same name family include Georgia and Georgina.

In medieval Catalonia the cult of Saint George anchored the name; Sant Jordi is the national patron, and 23 April (La Diada de Sant Jordi) pairs the exchange of roses and books, reinforcing its popularity. Use broadened in the late 20th century as a marker of Catalan identity and gained pan-European visibility through figures such as footballers Jordi Cruyff and Jordi Alba, which also spurred adoption in the Netherlands and beyond.
