Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Ancient Greek, a new Australian spelling of Georgia.
Jorja is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a creative feminine spelling of Georgia, from the Greek georgios, meaning 'farmer' or 'earth worker' — one who works the earth. Georgia, the American state name, brought this classic into the modern consciousness.
Singer Jorja Smith chose this spelling for her stage name, bringing it into contemporary British music culture with her soulful R&B sound. The phonetic spelling makes the femininity of the name completely unambiguous while retaining all of Georgia's earthy, warm appeal.
