Digorri is Basque in Origin.

Digorri is a modern Cornish/Breton‑flavored variant of Digory/Diggory, a given name rooted in medieval Breton and Anglo‑Norman tradition. Most scholars connect the lineage to Old French desgaré “lost, astray,” the epithet behind the Middle English romance hero Sir Degaré; from there it entered Cornish usage as Degory/Digory in the late medieval and early modern period. A secondary folk association links the name to Breton digor “open,” but this is likely a later reinterpretation rather than the true source.

The name appears in Cornish parish records, with a notable bearer being Degory Priest of the Mayflower (1620). Literary revivals include Diggory Venn in Thomas Hardy and Digory Kirke in C. S. Lewis. Digorri adopts a contemporary -i ending and double‑r styling seen in modern Cornish revivals. Variants include Digory, Diggory, Degory, Degaré/Degare; related modern forms: Digori, Digoria. Nicknames: Dig, Dory, Gori. Meaning: “lost one; wanderer,” often softened to “seeker.”
