Tirrey Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Some records give Terry; others give Tirrey. Both point to the same English family name. Records show Tirrey as one of the forms Terry took over time. It grew out of a personal name: “From Thierry (Theodoric)”. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms.

You may also find the name written Terrey and Thierry.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Tirrey, so the heraldry linked to Terry is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Tirrey family name pack.
