History & Origin

Torry is a variant of Tori or Tory, most often a short form of Victoria and occasionally a surname from a word for a rocky hill. Victoria comes from Latin 'victoria,' victory; Torry keeps that meaning while giving the popular nickname a doubled-r spelling.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-1970s peak, with a thin scatter into the 2000s. A Torry from that time is in her late forties now; Tori-style names stay in use, though this spelling reads as a period variant.

Did you know? Torry is one of several 1970s spellings of Tori, part of a fashion for clipped, upbeat short forms used as full names.
