Yurievich is Slavic in Origin.

Yurievich is a Russian and broader East Slavic patronymic (Юрьевич) meaning “son of Yuri/Yury,” with Yuri being the Slavic form of George (from Greek Georgios ‘farmer, earth‑worker’). As a naming element it functions as a male middle name rather than a given name; the feminine counterpart is Yurievna/Yuriyevna. Common transliterations include Yuryevich, Yurevich, and Iurevich; cognate forms appear as Ukrainian Yuriiovych/Yuriyovych (Юрійович) and Belarusian Jurevič.

Patronymics of this type have been used in Rus’ and Muscovy since medieval times to identify lineage, e.g., Andrei Yurievich Bogolyubsky and Vsevolod Yuryevich (“the Big Nest”), sons of Yuri Dolgorukiy. In modern Russia and neighboring countries, Yurievich is routinely recorded on passports and formal documents to denote paternity, and it occasionally appears as a hereditary surname in the diaspora (compare South Slavic Jurjević as a related formation).

⚙ Yurievich turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Most often that means a rare name, a regional or heritage one, or a recent coinage. Either way, it's a name very few children share.
