Jurisah is Slavic in Origin.

Jurisah is a rare modern feminine given name with Arabic influence. It most plausibly extends Juri or Jouri, the Arabic جوري denoting the Damask rose, by adding the feminine -sah ending familiar from names such as Hafsah and Nafisah. The resulting meaning evokes “rose” or “rose-like,” pairing floral imagery with a softly classical cadence.

Documented usage is recent and sporadic, appearing chiefly in Southeast Asian Muslim communities - such as Malaysia and Brunei - and among diaspora families from the late twentieth century onward; it lacks attested medieval or scriptural bearers. Variant and adjacent forms include Jouri, Jori, and Juri, as well as elaborations like Jurisa or Jorisa, depending on local spelling preferences. The name may echo Latin juris, “of law,” or the Baltic male name Juris (from George, “farmer”), though these associations are etymologically separate.
