History & Origin

Jeury is a modern Dominican Spanish given name, often spelled Geury or Yeury, whose origin is genuinely uncertain - likely a coinage or reworking rather than an inherited traditional name. It spread in the Dominican Republic and became visible in the United States largely through baseball, and we note that no fixed meaning is securely documented.

It was never common in US records, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 2007. A boy named Jeury then is a teenager or young adult today.
