What Torry means

Spelled Torry, the surname still points back to Torrey. Taken at its root, Torry points to “Someone who came from Torrie (hill)”.

Without the “e” of Torrey, Torry is a simpler written form of the same name. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. About 626 people in the United States were recorded as Torry in 2010, placing it 35,866 on the national list. That puts it inside the top 50,000 US surnames.
