Jorina is in Origin.

Jorina is a feminine given name most common in the Netherlands and parts of Scandinavia. It likely developed as a variant of Jorine/Jorien, themselves derived from Dutch Joris, the local form of George. Through this line, its ultimate root is Greek Georgios, from ge “earth” + ergon “work,” yielding the meaning “farmer” or “earth-worker.” The name’s shape may also have been influenced by German Jorinde, familiar from the Grimm tale “Jorinde und Joringel,” which helped seed related forms across Germanic languages.

Documented in Dutch records from the early to mid‑20th century, Jorina has remained uncommon but steady, with sporadic use in Germany and Scandinavia (as Jørina). Variants and related forms include Jorine, Jorien, Jorinde, Jorinda, and the diminutives Jorie and Rina. While rare in English-speaking countries, the name appeals for its gentle sound, pan‑Germanic pedigree, and rooted “cultivator” meaning.
