Terri
t(er)-ri
US Popularity:10583
Origin:Greek
Meaning:People's ruler; To harvest; Summer
Deceptively unassuming, Terri is a beloved name steeped in origin and meaning. This gender-neutral title is a diminutive of the Norman-French Thierry, meaning “people’s ruler,” and the Greek Teresa, meaning “to harvest” and “summer.” Terri is also considered a nickname for Terence (Latin Terentius) and is sometimes spelled as Terry. Terri has an aloof -i ending rather than the more common -y, and offers baby a selection of vibes to get on board with. Whether baby is a natural leader, a skilled hunter, or as serene as a glorious evening in late summer, Terri is a stylish and versatile choice.
