Jorien is Dutch in Origin.

Jorien is a modern Dutch given name, most common for women, linked to the George/Joris name family. It is generally understood as a Dutch elaboration or feminine counterpart of Joris (the Dutch form of George), shaped with the productive -ien ending found in names like Laurien and Marjolein. Through this connection to Greek Georgios, its meaning traces to “farmer” or “earthworker” (ge “earth” + ergon “work”). Pronounced roughly yo-REEN in Dutch, it also appears, more rarely, as a unisex choice.

Use of Jorien rose in the Netherlands in the late 20th century, with notable bearers such as Olympic speed skaters Jorien ter Mors and Jorien Voorhuis helping keep the name visible. Related forms and variants include Jorian/Jorien (medieval and modern spellings), Jorine and Jorina (feminine Dutch), and the short form Jori; cognate male relatives are Joris, George, Jørgen/Jörgen, and Jürgen.
