According to https://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/verklaring/naam/Joris, Joris is a form of both George and Gregorius. "Eigenlijk is de naam ontstaan uit Gregorius, maar deze werd met George verward."
As a (West) Frisian name, it seems to be a corruption of Sjors and Gerard: "Joris ook in het Fries, daar voorbeelden van vervorming tot Sjors en Gerard."

There's also a popular Lithuanian name Joris, meaning 'green'. It's said that it was a name of Lithuanian God of Spring in our ancient religion. Pronounced just like the Dutch one.

The comment about 'Joris' being the name of the Lithuanian God of Spring is incorrect. The name of the Lithuanian God of Spring is 'Kupolė'.

I have actually known two people named Joris. One married a relative of mine (I was actually the flower girl in their wedding) and the other is our upstairs neighbor. He is very polite and friendly, and I think that is why I have a good impression of this name. I quite like it.
