History & Origin

Torre works as a variant of Tory, a diminutive of Salvatore or Victor, and also as the Italian and Spanish torre, 'tower', which became a surname and then a given name. In American use the sound is the same, and families arrived at it from either direction.

Torre was always uncommon, borne by only a few dozen boys a year with a faint peak around 1991 and light use since. It travels with Tory, Torrey, and the Italian surname Torre.

Did you know? Torre doubles as an everyday Italian and Spanish word for 'tower', so the name carries the sturdy image of a tower alongside its use as a short form of Salvatore.
