      Meaning of the first name Torry

      Origin

      English

      Meaning

      Short form of Victoria

      Variations

      Terry, Trory, Jorryn
      The name Torry has its origins in English and it is a short form of the name Victoria. The name Victoria itself is derived from the Latin word victoria meaning victory. Torry, as a diminutive of Victoria, shares this meaning and is often associated with triumph, success, and achievement.

      In terms of historical usage, the name Torry can be traced back to the late 19th century when it began to gain popularity as a standalone name. It was primarily used as a masculine given name and was sometimes used as a nickname for those named Victoria. Over time, Torry has become increasingly popular as a unisex name, with parents opting to use it for their daughters as well.

      In modern-day usage, Torry continues to be a relatively popular given name. Its shortened and simplified form lends itself well to casual and contemporary naming trends. The name Torry is often associated with strong, determined individuals who are driven to achieve their goals and overcome obstacles. It has a modern and somewhat edgy appeal, making it a popular choice among parents looking for a unique yet familiar name for their child.
