Orri

Succinct and charming, Orri is an Icelandic name, ultimately taken from the Old Norse orri meaning "black grouse" or "blackgame", making this a bird and nature inspired option. Pronounced with a rolled 'r', Orri was likely used as a nickname originally, but is now given as a stand-alone choice too.

Predominantly used in Iceland and occasionally in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland too, notable bearers include musician Orri Páll Dýrason, basketball player Orri Gunnarsson, and environmentalist Orri Vigfússon.

Orri might additionally be used elsewhere as a nickname for a number of full names, as is the case of soccer payer Orest "Orri" Banach. Other ways to Orri (likely said without the rolled R) could include Oren, Orrin, Orion, or Emory.

Pronounced OR-ee.
