What is the meaning of the name Tori ?

The baby name Tori is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TOR-ee.

Tori is English, Japanese, Latin in Origin.

Tori has two distinct etymologies. In English it is a hypocoristic shortening of Victoria, from Classical Latin victōria, victory, an abstract noun built on victor, conqueror, from vincere, to conquer. As a Japanese given name or name element, Tori reflects the native noun tori, written 鳥, bird; in personal names the same reading may also be assigned to other kanji, so the written form determines the exact sense.

The English nickname belongs mostly to the late twentieth-century move away from Vicky, helped by American figures such as Tori Amos, Tori Spelling, and Tori Kelly, either formally Victoria or using Tori professionally. In the United States it peaked in 1994 and left the Top 1000 in 2021. Japanese use is less tied to a single gender, with bearers such as sculptor Tori Busshi and actor Tori Matsuzaka; spellings include Tory and Torie.
