Juraz

Juraz Origin and Meaning

The name Juraz is a boy's name.

Juraz is a masculine name with Slavic origins, particularly found in Slovak and Croatian naming traditions. It likely developed as a variation of names like Juraj (the Slavic form of George) or possibly from Jerzy. The name carries connotations of strength and agricultural prosperity through its etymological connection to George, which means 'farmer' or 'earth-worker.' Juraz remains relatively uncommon outside Eastern European countries and diaspora communities. Its distinctive 'z' ending gives it a contemporary sound while maintaining its traditional Slavic roots. The name offers a strong cultural connection to Central and Eastern European heritage while being relatively short and accessible for international use.
