What is the meaning of the name Jorre ?

The baby name Jorre is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈjɔrə/ (YOR-uh).

Jorre is Dutch in Origin.

Jorre is a modern Flemish/Dutch given name, commonly treated as a short form or affectionate diminutive of Joris, the Dutch equivalent of George. Ultimately from Greek Georgios (geōrgos, “farmer” or “earth-worker”), it shares the sturdy, rustic meaning associated with the tiller of the soil and the long-standing popularity of the Saint George tradition across Europe.

Use of Jorre is concentrated in Flanders and, to a lesser extent, the Netherlands, with attestations rising from the late 20th century under the trend for brisk, two-syllable names ending in -e. Though informal in origin, it stands alone as an independent given name today. Variants and cognates include Joris, Jori, Jory, and Scandinavian Jørgen, alongside George, Georg, Jorge, and Giorgos. Related feminine forms are Georgia and Georgina. Name days often follow Saint George’s feast (23 April) in traditions that observe them.
