What Does the Name Joury Mean?
Joury is an Arabic feminine name meaning "Damask rose." It comes from the Arabic word jūrī (جوري), the adjective used in the phrase al-ward al-jūrī, the deeply fragrant rose (Rosa × damascena) grown in the Levant and used to make rose water and rose oil.
That adjective is a relative form (nisba) built on the place name Jūr - in Persian, Gōr, a city in the province of Fars in Persia that was later known as Firuzabad. Arabic lexical tradition explains the rose, and so the name, as "of Jūr." This derivation is the customary explanation rather than a settled fact, and some writers simply gloss the word as "rose." The feminine form Jūriyya (جورية) also appears as a variant of the same word.
Joury Name History & Origins
As a personal name, Joury is a modern use of the old Arabic word for the rose. It fits a wider Arabic practice of naming girls after flowers and plants, and it is used chiefly in the Levant - Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine - as well as in the Gulf states and among Arabic-speaking families living elsewhere.
The name is written جوري in Arabic, and its Latin-letter spellings vary: Jouri, Joori, Juri and Jory all appear alongside Joury. It is not related to the English and Cornish name Jory, which is a short form of George and has a separate origin. The flower behind the name is the deep-red, strongly scented rose harvested for rose water and attar of roses.
