What is the meaning of the name Yura ?

The baby name Yura is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Common: YOO-rah (approx. IPA: /ˈjuːrə/ or Slavic [ˈjura]); Korean: Yoo-ra (유라, [juɾa]).

Yura is Korean, Slavic in Origin.

Yura has several independent sources. In East Slavic languages it is the affectionate form of Yuriy/Yury (Юрий, Юрій), cognate with Greek Georgios, hence "farmer/earth-worker"; related variants include Yuri, Yurii/Yuriy, Yury, Jura (Czech/Slovak diminutive of Juraj), and Ukrainian/Belarusian Yura/Jura. In Japanese, Yura is a given name and surname written with varied kanji such as 由良, 友良, or 裕羅, so meanings range from "origin/reason" and "friend" to "abundant" or "gauze." In Korean, Yu-ra (유라) is a feminine name whose sense depends on the chosen hanja for Yu and Ra.

As a Slavic hypocoristic, Yura appears in records from the Christianization era and remains a familiar male call-name, sometimes used independently today. The Japanese name gained currency in the 20th century and is often feminine or unisex; a coastal place name also bears it. Korean Yu-ra rose with modern two-syllable naming and is common in popular culture.
