Throughout the world, Юріс (Juris 
, Юріс 
, Strenga 
) is quite a common principally masculine, but very seldom feminine first name. The first name Юріс is habitual in Northern Europe, particularly Latvia, where it is a common boy's name, Lithuania, where it is quite a rare masculine name, and Ireland. In absolute terms, it is commonest in Latvia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Philippines. Much less frequently, Юріс is the last name as well as the forename.
