Gyu-ri is Korean in Origin.
Gyu-ri (규리) is a Korean given name formed from the Sino-Korean syllables Gyu (규) and Ri (리/이). Its meaning depends on the hanja selected: Gyu may be written as 圭 “jade tablet/uprightness,” 奎 “constellation, artistry,” or 規 “standard, rule,” while Ri may be 理 “reason, principle,” 利 “benefit,” or 莉 “jasmine.” Common pairings yield readings such as “upright principle” (圭理), “beneficial order” (規利), or “starry jasmine” (奎莉).
Structurally unisex, the name today skews feminine in South Korea and gained traction from the late 20th century with modern two-syllable blends. Visibility has come through entertainers like Park Gyuri (singer, KARA) and actresses known as Kim Gyu-ri. Variants include Gyuri (no hyphen), Gyu Ri (spaced), and Kyu-ri/Kyuri under older or alternative romanizations; hangul remains 규리. The South Korean approved hanja list offers several choices for each syllable, letting families tailor the name’s nuance toward virtue, elegance, or auspiciousness.
Gyu-ri doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. Either way, it remains a genuinely rare choice.
