Gregori

Gregori is a variant of Gregory, derived from the Greek name Gregorios, meaning 'watchful' or 'vigilant.' This spelling is particularly common in Eastern European countries, especially Russia, Bulgaria, and Romania, giving it a distinctly Slavic flair. The name carries historical weight through numerous notable figures, including Pope Gregory I (known as Gregory the Great) and various saints and rulers throughout history. While the more anglicized Gregory has been consistently popular in English-speaking countries, Gregori offers a more exotic alternative with the same classical roots. The name projects strength and intelligence while maintaining its traditional appeal. In recent years, Gregori has attracted parents seeking a familiar name with an international twist.

Pronounced gruh-GOR-ee.

As of October 2026, Gregori ranked #12738 in US births in 2015 SSA, peaked at #3441 in 1963.
