Thery Origin and Meaning

The name Thery is a boy's name.

Thery is an uncommon masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Terry (itself a diminutive of Terence or Theodoric), or could derive from the Old Germanic name Theodoric, meaning "ruler of the people." In some contexts, it might also represent a surname that has transitioned to first-name usage. Thery has remained extremely rare throughout history, never appearing on popularity charts in most countries. Its brevity and distinctive pronunciation give it a modern feel despite its potentially ancient roots. The name's rarity makes it appealing to parents seeking a short, strong-sounding name that's unlikely to be shared with others in their child's peer group.
