I was born in Ukraine, in a small town in the western part of Ukraine. In Ukraine, my name is pretty popular. I was named after my grandfather. Which in my country is a common tradition. Yurii and George are the same name and have one history and tradition.
I don't remember very well the history or the story behind my name, but when I was a child, my mom read a book to me about my name. The name Yurii means "farmer" or person who works with the earth. Farmer are supposed to be hard-working, kind, and friendly. He loved to work in the fields and garden, planting flowers and vegetables.
My grandfather also planted things in the earth, and I’m like him in many ways. I’m very similar to my grandfather and to St Yurii, who is known for his kindness and connection with nature. I also got a love for plants and animals. I know how to take care flowers very well, because in Ukraine I had a big garden. Together with my mom, we had more than 50 bushes of roses and other flowers, trees and fruits.
I like my name, and I’m really happy, to carry this name with honor.
