Torrey is English in Origin.
Torrey is a unisex given name from the British Isles, arising as a Scottish surname taken from places called Torry, from Gaelic torr “hill, mound.” As a first name, it gained U.S. currency in the 20th century alongside the surname-as-given-name trend; the botanist John Torrey helped fix the spelling in public awareness.
It also overlaps with Tory/Tori, a short form of Victoria, adding an alternate Latin sense of “victory.” Variants and related spellings include Torey, Torie, Tory, Tori, Torry, Torrie, and Torre, with Torry/Torrie common as surnames in Scotland. Though sometimes linked to Scandinavian Thor-names such as Tore, Torrey is usually treated separately. Modern use is gender-neutral, peaking for U.S. boys in the late 1970s–1990s. Meanings offered: “from the hill; hill-dweller,” or, via Victoria, “victory.”
