History & Origin

Jurnii is a modern respelling of the word name Journey, from Old French journee, 'a day's travel.' Word names of movement and aspiration — Journey, Destiny, Legacy — have been a strong current in American naming, and the -ii ending gives this one a fresh, personal stamp (said 'JUR-nee').

It appears rarely in the U.S., while Journey itself is far more familiar. Rare, modern, and free-spirited.

Did you know? Journey — the word behind Jurnii — comes from the Old French journee, 'a day's travel,' back when a journey was measured in daylight. The double-i spelling is a thoroughly modern touch.
