The Polish version of George is Jerzy, but maybe Jurek is a pet form(?)

Think about the russian nameYuri... ¿could they be related? (after all "Yuri" is the popular occidental transcription of the original russian form wirtten with a different alphabet... phonetically "Yuri" and "Jurek" are much the same... Then there is Yanek)
