Jurgita is Lithuanian in Origin.
Jurgita is a Lithuanian feminine given name formed with the -ita suffix from Jurgis, the local form of George. It ultimately goes back to Greek Georgios (ge ‘earth’ + ergon ‘work’), giving the meaning "farmer, earth-worker."
In Lithuania the name took hold in the 20th century and peaked in the 1970s-90s, remaining familiar at home and in the diaspora. It is linked to St. George (Šv. Jurgis) and the spring feast Jurginės; the name day is commonly observed around April 23. A prevalent short form is Jurga; the masculine counterpart is Jurgis. Related variants and cognates include Georgia/Georgina (English), Giorgia (Italian), Georgiana (Romanian and English), Gergana (Bulgarian), and Jiřina (Czech). The spelling Jurgita is characteristically Lithuanian. Usage outside Lithuania is rare but recognizable in Baltic communities.
