History & Origin

Torrie works as a diminutive from several sources. For boys it can shorten the Scottish surname Torrance, 'from the hills' or 'little hills', or the Italian Salvatore, 'savior', and it echoes the Old Norse Thor, the thunder god behind many Tor- names. The -ie ending gives it an easygoing, nickname feel.

It was always uncommon as a boys' name, most visible around 1976 and fading after, and it competes with the girls' Torrie from Victoria. A Torrie today is likely a Gen-Xer; the name is a period diminutive rather than a formal name, and it has not revived.

Did you know? Torrie crosses gender lines: as a boys' name it shortens Torrance or Salvatore, while as a girls' name it doubles for Tori, the pet form of Victoria.
