Larrie is English in Origin.

Larrie is a modern, informal spelling of Larry, the English pet form of Laurence/Lawrence. These trace back to Latin Laurentius, “man from Laurentum,” later linked to laurus, the laurel tree, so the name conveys “laurel-crowned,” “victorious,” or “honored.”

Laurence entered English via the cult of Saint Lawrence of Rome and has been used since the Middle Ages; the short form Larry took off in the late 19th century and peaked in the United States during the 1940s–60s. Larrie appears much less often, chiefly in 20th‑century Anglophone records, and can read as gently unisex because of the -ie ending. Related forms and cognates include Larry, Laurie, Laurence, Lawrence; French Laurent; Spanish/Italian Lorenzo; German Lorenz; Scandinavian Lars; and Finnish Lauri. Nicknames mirror the base forms: Lar, Larry, Laurie, Renzo.
