Around the globe, Joerg (Jörg 
, Joerg , Йорг 
) is a widespread masculine first name. The first name Joerg is habitual in Western Europe, particularly Germany, where it is a common male name, Austria, where it is quite a common boy's name, and Switzerland, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Very seldom, Joerg is the last name as well as the forename.
Joerg is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Jörg Pöschel , the operatic character in the opera Feuersnot by Richard Strauss.
