Orrys is Norman in Origin.

Rooted in Manx tradition, Orrys is a modern, s-ending variant of Orry, the name attached to the Isle of Man’s legendary “King Orry.” That figure is generally identified with Norse rulers named Godred (Old Norse Guðrøðr; Gaelic Gofraidh/Manx Gorree). Through this lineage the name is ultimately tied to Norse–Germanic elements for “god” plus “peace” or “counsel,” lending it overtones of divine guidance and concord alongside seafaring-royal lore.

As a given name, Orry appears in the British Isles from the 18th–19th centuries and sees occasional modern revival as a heritage choice; Orrys is a contemporary spelling found across the Anglophone world, sometimes styled to echo surname forms. Variants and related forms include Orry, Orrie, Orri, Ory, Ori, Oris/Orris, and the Manx Gaelic Gorree; broader cognates are Godred/Guðrøðr and Gofraidh (often equated with Godfrey).
