Meaning & origin
Iori entered U.S. baby name records in 2002 but has never achieved widespread use. Its peak year was 2012, when it ranked 9,714, a position it has held steady at in 2025 as well. The name is exceptionally rare, occurring in only 1 per 244,011 births for boys. Despite its scarcity, Iori has maintained a stable trajectory, neither rising nor falling dramatically in the rankings. The name's origins are Japanese, but its meaning remains ambiguous; it may be linked to a weaving pattern or a type of roof construction. Iori offers a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with Japanese roots, though it remains largely outside mainstream American naming conventions.
Iori is a given name in modern Japan, sometimes written with the character 織 (meaning 'weave') or other characters. The name has been in limited use in the United States since the early 2000s, possibly influenced by Japanese media. Its exact etymology is debated; the homophone 'iori' also refers to a type of thatched roof or a weaving pattern.
