Jori is a slick, effortlessly cool variation of the enduring Hebrew name Jordan. Originating from the Hebrew Yarden, the gender-neutral Jori means simply "descending" or "down-flowing." It's an appellation that embraces the constancy and steadfastness of a river, imbuing the bearer with the confidence to pursue their purpose no matter the obstacles faced. Alternatively, Jori also stems from the Greek georgos, signifying “farmer,” as a Cornish form of George. Meanwhile, its links to the Hebrew Yoram or Yehoram give way to the meaning “Jehovah is exalted.” So, whether you choose this name for its religious connotations or connection to nature and the great outdoors, baby is sure to be down-to-earth.
