Jury, Jurij, Iurii, Iouri, Yury, Yuri, Youri, Yurii, Yuriy or Yurij is the Slavic (Belarusian: Юры, romanized: Jury, or Bulgarian: Юрий, romanized: Jurij, or Ukrainian: Юрій, romanized: Yurii, or Russian: Юрий, romanized: Yuriy) form of the masculine given name George; it is derived directly from the Greek form Georgios and related to Polish Jerzy, Czech Jiří, and Slovak and Croatian Juraj, akin to Spanish and Portuguese Jorge, and German Jürgen, and assimilated in modern forms such as German and Italian Juri, Portuguese Iúri, Estonian Jüri, and Dutch Joeri.
The Slavic form of the name originates with Yuri Dolgoruky (c. 1099–1157), in early accounts recorded as Gyurgi, Dyurgi.[citation needed]
