Meaning & origin
Tarri is a rare American name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1950. It reached its peak of popularity in 1961, when it was given to 6 babies (the most recorded in any year). Since then, it has maintained a very low and stable level of use, with fewer than 5 births per year. The name is likely a variant of Terry or a modern invention, reflecting mid-20th-century naming trends that favored short, rhyming names ending in -i or -ie. Tarri has never ranked in the top 1,000 names and has no recorded usage in any U.S. state as a top choice. It is almost exclusively given to girls, though a handful of boys have received the name over the decades.
Tarri is a modern American coinage, likely a variant of the name Terry (a diminutive of Teresa) or an invented name combining a familiar sound with a feminine -i ending. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in the 1950s, with a peak in 1961, and has remained in very rare use since.
