Meaning & origin
Denorris is a rare and distinctive modern name that combines the fashionable prefix De- with the surname Norris. First recorded in 1955, it had its highest usage in 1987, when it was given to a small number of baby boys each year. The name has never entered the top 1000 and remains uncommon, with fewer than 5 births annually in recent years. Its trajectory suggests a stable but low level of use, primarily within African American naming traditions that favor the De- prefix. While no top states have recorded significant numbers, Denorris is part of a broader trend of inventive, surname-influenced given names that emerged in the mid-20th century.
