Latorray is in Origin.

Latorray (luh-TOR-ray) is a modern American blend, most plausibly created by adding the stylistic prefix La- to Torrey/Torre. Torrey traces to multiple sources: a Norman French and Spanish word torre from Latin turris, “tower,” and a Gaelic element torr meaning “hill, mound.” As such, Latorray is commonly interpreted as “the tower” or “from the tower,” with overtones of height, watchfulness, and strength; the Gaelic pathway adds a nuance of “hill” or “upland.”

The name arose in late-20th-century U.S. usage, especially within African-American creative naming traditions, and remains rare and unisex, though more often given to girls. Variant spellings include LaTorrey, Latorrey, Latorae, Latorie, Latorri, and LaTorre; related forms are Torrey, Tory/Tori, and Torre. Nicknames include Tori/Tory, Tor, and Ray/Raye. While not tied to a specific historic bearer, its structure aligns with contemporaries like Latoria and Latoya, blending familiar sounds with distinctive flair.
