Joren

US Popularity Rank: 19346

Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Farmer

Joren is a boy's name of Scandinavian origin and a descendant of Jörgen and George. Although they have a shared meaning of "farmer," the name Joren isn't as well-known as its older brothers. Yet. One person doing their part to raise the profile is Joren van Pottelberghe, a Swiss professional ice hockey goaltender. He was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings just three weeks after his 18th birthday and selected for Team Switzerland at the 2022 Olympics. With so much happening so fast, he kept his feet on the ground, a farmer at heart and role model little Joren can look up to.
