- In traditional Spanish naming customs, one would typically see the name 'Jorge' for a male or 'Georgina' as a classic feminine variant, making Jorja a stylistic outlier.
- The pronunciation /xoɾxa/ features the voiceless velar fricative, a sound produced by pushing air through the back of the throat, which is much harsher than the English 'J' in 'George'.
