Sorry if I am not familiar with the way to add a comment in the right way for wikipedia.
I would not say that this is limited to (only) NO, rather Scandinavian (ofcourse including Norway) and/or old nordic lanuage (the vikings, ie Danes, Swedes, Icelandics as well as Norway and possibly also the coasts around the baltic sea) - for example the city York in England (Jork) has its roots in old Nordic language in a similar way; York = jorvik, ie: jor + vik. Jor means horse and Vik means bay - this is the bay where you let your horses out. This comes from old scandinavian language and has the same roots as the name Jorid (or Jorfrid / Jurithur).
The name Jorid is today in use in several scandinavian countires.
