Jury is in Origin.

Jury is a cross-cultural given name with two main roots. In English it can be a rare transferred surname-name from the legal term “jury,” via Anglo-Norman juree and Latin jurare “to swear,” evoking the sense of a sworn body or oath. Across Slavic languages and in parts of Europe, Jury is a spelling variant of Yuri/Yury (Russian Юрий), ultimately from Greek Georgios, the source of George.

Usage clusters reflect those paths: in Britain and the U.S. it appears sporadically as an English-style given name, while in Eastern Europe, the Baltics (Estonian Jüri), and Italy it follows the George tradition - helped into wider notice by figures like Italian gymnast Jury Chechi. Meanings therefore split between “oath; sworn” (English route) and “farmer, earthworker” (George route). Close variants include Juri, Jurij, Jüri, Yuri, Yury, Yuriy; related short forms include Yura and Jure.
