[edit] Etymology
There are two theories on etymology of the name Jiří. According to most common one, it is derived from the greek word γεωργός (georgos) which means farmer, winegrower or peasant.
The other explanation is that it has Slavic roots. Compare it with the Russian word юркий (jurkij) which means quick, brisk, skilful.
