Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
České ženské meno utvorené od mena Jiří, ktoré je českou podobou gréckeho mena Geórgios. To súvisí s gréckym slovom geōrgós vo význame „roľník, obrábateľ pôdy“, zloženým zo slov gē „zem“ a érgon „práca“. Český názov kvetu jiřina vznikol podľa mena botanika Johanna Gottlieba Georgiho, nejde teda o pôvodný význam osobného mena.
