Meaning & origin
Jorje is a rare variant spelling of Jorge, the Spanish and Portuguese form of George. In the United States, it has never entered the top 1000 names. The first recorded use in Social Security data was in 1943, and its peak year came in 1979, when 7 babies received the name. Since then, usage has remained sporadic, with an average of fewer than 5 births per year in recent decades. The name did not appear in any top state data, suggesting it is geographically diffuse. Jorje represents a creative spelling choice for parents looking to honor Hispanic heritage while adding a distinctive touch.
Jorje is a spelling variant of Jorge, the Spanish and Portuguese form of George, which derives from the Greek name Georgios, from georgos meaning 'farmer' or 'earthworker'. The name George was borne by several saints and became widespread in Christian cultures. In the Spanish-speaking world, Jorge has been common for centuries, though Jorje is an uncommon spelling.
