Tarrie is English in Origin.

Tarrie is a modern English given name formed with the affectionate -ie suffix, most often seen as a creative variant of Terrie/Terry or as a pet form of Tara or Taryn. Its roots thus trace to several sources: Terry from Terence (Latin Terentius, of uncertain meaning) or Theresa (Greek, commonly interpreted as “harvester”); Tara from Irish Teamhair, “hill, elevated place,” and in South Asian use from Sanskrit Tara, “star”; and Taryn, a 20th‑century blend possibly influenced by Welsh taran, “thunder.”

Recorded in Anglophone countries since the late 20th century, Tarrie remains rare and largely unisex, chosen for its soft sound and friendly spelling. Variant forms include Tarri, Tarry, Tari, Terrie, Terry, Teri, and Tarryn/Taryn. Depending on the preferred root, meanings associated with Tarrie range from “harvester” to “hill/top” or “star,” with modern connotations of spirited brightness and approachability.
