Jouri

Jouri (جوري) is a well-attested Arabic feminine name meaning 'Damask rose' or, more generally, a type of rose. The term جوري is widely used in modern Arabic vernacular and in onomastic practice across the Arab world to denote the fragrant, cultivated rose associated with Levantine gardens. As a given name it evokes beauty, aroma and classical floral imagery found throughout Arabic poetry and prose. The name is relatively uncommon compared with core traditional choices like Fatima or Aisha, which makes it an attractive, distinct option for parents seeking a floral but authentically Arabic name. Jouri has no direct Quranic verse as its source, but it aligns with the longstanding Arabic poetic tradition of naming after flowers; compare related floral names such as [[Warda]] and [[Yasmin]] for similar thematic resonance. Pronunciation is commonly rendered as /ˈʤuːriː/ (JOO-ree) or /ˈdʒɔri/ in some dialects. Variants in transliteration include Joury, Juri and Joori.
