Murry Origin and Meaning

The name Murry is a girl's name.

Murry as a feminine name represents an unusual gender crossover from what was traditionally a masculine name and surname. Derived from Scottish and Irish origins, Murry (also spelled Murray) originally meant "settlement by the sea" from Gaelic elements. While historically used primarily for boys and as a family name, its adoption as a feminine name reflects the modern trend of repurposing surnames and traditionally male names for girls. The name has a gentle, unpretentious quality with its soft consonants. When used for girls, Murry may be considered a unique alternative to more common names like Mary or Marie, sharing some phonetic similarities while standing apart. As a feminine name, Murry remains quite rare, giving it a distinctive quality for parents seeking uncommon options.
