Juri is a gender-neutral name with contested origins. While the Slavs look upon it as their version of George, meaning “farmer,” the moniker takes on a life of its own in Japanese since how it’s spelled usually dictates what it means. But it can range from “congratulations” to “longevity” to “pear” and even “village.” Whichever interpretation you’re drawn towards, Juri has a very comforting quality to it which can help your little one feel at home wherever they are in the world.
