Meaning & History

Derived from Old Tupi jurandira, itself derived from jura "mouth" and ndieira "honey bee", and thus commonly interpreted as "she who says sweet words".
This is also the name of a sea goddess worshipped by the Bakairi people of Brazil, who speak a Carib language. It has been used as Brazilian given name since the 20th century.
