Meaning & origin
Gentri is a modern American coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1983, during a period of creative name-making that blended traditional elements with fresh endings. Its trajectory has been steadily rising since 2006, with a peak in 2017, though it remains a rare choice: in 2025, it ranked 11,932 with about 1 in 229,610 births. While it has never been associated with any top states, Gentri reflects a broader trend of using surname-inspired or virtue-adjacent sounds for girls, a style that continues to gain favor in the 2010s and beyond.
Gentri is a modern invented name, likely formed by blending elements of "Gentry" or "Gentle" with a fashionable -i ending. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1983.
