Jorey Origin and Meaning

The name Jorey is a girl's name.

Jorey is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a modern variant of Jory (itself a diminutive of George, meaning 'farmer' or 'earth-worker'), a feminine form of Corey (meaning 'from the hollow' or 'from the cauldron'), or a creative spelling of Jorie (a diminutive of Marjorie). The name has a contemporary feel with its trendy 'J' beginning and '-ey' ending. Jorey remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a modern-sounding name that's recognizable but not widely used. The name's short, two-syllable structure makes it accessible and easy to pronounce, while its multiple potential origins give it flexibility in meaning and cultural association. In recent years, it has gained some modest usage in North America as parents seek alternatives to more common names like Jordan or Jocelyn.
