Terrey Origin and Meaning

The name Terrey is a girl's name.

Terrey is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Terry or Terri, which originated as diminutives of names containing the element "Theo" (meaning "god") such as Theresa or Theodore. This particular spelling with the "ey" ending gives the name a softer, more distinctly feminine appearance while maintaining the familiar sound. Historically, Terry began as a masculine nickname before evolving into a unisex name, with Terri becoming the more common feminine spelling. The Terrey variant remains quite uncommon, appealing to parents who want a traditional-sounding name with a unique spelling. The name conveys a friendly, approachable quality while the distinctive spelling helps set it apart. Terrey has never ranked among popular given names in most English-speaking countries, remaining a relatively rare choice.
