Origin:Slavic
Other Origin(s):Greek
Meaning:Farmer
Yurii is a Slavic name for boys. As a unique alternative to George, meaning “farmer,” it finds its roots in the Greek language. This association might have come from Zeus Georgos or Zeus the Farmer, an earlier title for the Greek god Zeus. In the early stages of Greek mythology, i.e. before Zeus became the king of all gods and goddesses, he was worshipped as an agricultural god and a patron of crops and harvests. So, while this moniker can help plant your little one’s feet firmly on the ground, it’s also saying there’s nothing wrong with having their head in the clouds!
