What is the meaning of the name Jori ?

The baby name Jori is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JOR-ee (English: /ˈdʒɔːri/ or /ˈdʒɒri/),YO-ree (Finnish: /ˈjo.ri/).

Jori is English, Finnish, Hebrew, Slavic in Origin.

Jori is a unisex name with pan-European roots. In Finnish it functions as a masculine given name ultimately linked to George (Greek Georgios), meaning "farmer; earth-worker." In the Celtic southwest of Britain, the close form Jory has long served as the Cornish equivalent of George, and in English Jori is sometimes used as a streamlined nickname for Marjorie or Jordan.

Use rose in Finland in the 20th century and persists today, while in the United States it surfaced from the 1970s amid the vogue for short, two-syllable names. Variants and related forms include Jory, Jorie, and the broader George/Georgia family (e.g., Jörgen, Georg, Yrjö). Across these lines, the core meaning traces to Georgios: "tiller of the soil," though English pet-form use adds no new sense.
