Jorgana is in Origin.

Jorgana is a rare feminine form from the George/Georgios name family, most transparently built on the Iberian Jorge with the Romance -ana ending. Its ultimate root is Greek Georgios (from ge "earth" + ergon "work"), yielding the meaning "farmer" or "earth-worker." The path of the name through Latin Georgius into Spanish and Portuguese Jorge - and into Nordic Jørgen - provides the base from which Jorgana likely arose as a modern elaboration parallel to Georgiana.

Usage is sporadic, with records in Portugal, Brazil, and parts of Spanish-speaking Latin America from the late 20th century onward, and occasional Balkan parallels (cf. Jorjana) via the widespread veneration of Saint George (23 April). Closely related or variant forms include Jorgina, Georgina, Georgiana, Jørgine, Jorjana, and Jorgelina; masculine counterparts are Jorge, George, Jørgen, and Giorgos. Possible diminutives are Gina, Ana, Jô (Portuguese), or Jori. Pronunciation commonly follows Iberian patterns: hor-GAH-na in Spanish; zhor-GAH-na in Portuguese.
