Rorie Origin and Meaning

The name Rorie is a girl's name.

Rorie is a feminine name with Scottish and Gaelic roots, though it can occasionally be used for boys as well. It's often considered a diminutive or variation of Aurora, Rory, or Lorelei. In Gaelic tradition, it relates to 'ruadh' meaning 'red-haired' or 'rusty.' The name has a bright, spirited quality with its short, accessible sound. Rorie strikes a nice balance between uniqueness and familiarity—recognizable enough to pronounce easily but uncommon enough to be distinctive. In recent years, the name has seen modest usage in English-speaking countries, particularly among families with Scottish heritage. Parents may be attracted to Rorie for its cheerful sound, Celtic connections, and contemporary feel that works well across different ages.
