Yuri

Yuri is a strong name with Russian roots, traditionally meaning 'farmer.' It’s a name that conjures up both nobility and simplicity, often associated with figures in Russian history like Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space. While primarily a masculine name in Russian-speaking countries, it can be found as a female name in Japanese contexts, although the meaning differs there. In English-speaking countries, it remains a somewhat rare, yet distinctive choice, offering nicknames like 'Yur' or 'Riri.'
