Yurie is of Japanese origin, derived from the word 'yurugazu,' meaning 'to be gentle.' It gained prominence in Japan following World War II, inspired by a character named Yurie in a popular novel series. The name has since been widely used and can also be found among speakers of Russian and other Slavic languages.
"Yurie had a steady increase in popularity from 1986 to 1991 with six births each year, but then saw a decline by 2015 with only five births."
