Joran

Joran is a gender-neutral name in Swedish, Dutch, and several Scandinavian languages, with origins across Greek, Hebrew, and Norse. Most often a variant of the Greek name George, Joran translates to “farmer” or “earthworker.” Nothing helps you learn more about the earth like rolling up your sleeves and digging straight into the dirt. Joran, as a girl's name, derives from Old Norse roots, where it has meanings like "agitated wild boar," "rough horse," "tumultuous wild boar," or "turbulent horse" for the kiddo who's not afraid to make their presence known. As a masculine Dutch name, Joran comes from the Hebrew Jehoram, which has the lofty meaning of "exalted by Yahweh" for those wishing to welcome baby to their faith. Its themes of tending to the land, wild and free animals, and spiritual fulfillment make Joran a name that represents living life to the fullest.
