Jurek is a Polish name for boys. Be as that may, it can be traced back to the Greek georgios meaning “farmer.” Spelled also as Jerzy, it has many notable personalities to its credit, including two resistance fighters, Izrael Chaim Wilner and Jerzy Zborowski. These bravehearts assumed the name Jurek during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in World War II. This just goes to show that though the moniker has modest beginnings, it can help your little one rise to the occasion if needed!
