About Currie
Currie is an unusual feminine given name with Scottish roots, primarily derived from a surname meaning 'wet plain' or 'hollow.' Originally found in the lowlands of Scotland, particularly around Midlothian, the name has occasionally transitioned from a family name to a first name. As a feminine given name, Currie remains extremely rare, offering a distinctive choice for parents seeking something unique with Celtic heritage. The name has a contemporary sound despite its traditional origins, with the appealing 'curry' pronunciation and modern -ie ending. Some may associate it with the curry spice or dish, though this connection is coincidental rather than etymological.
Currie is also given to boys.
Pronounced KUR-ee.
As of October 2026, Currie ranked #13982 in US births in 1996 SSA, peaked at #4672 in 1976.
