Diminutive of Victoria, English, Japanese

"victory; bird"

Tori Origin and Meaning

The name Tori is a girl's name of Latin, Japanese origin meaning "victory; bird".

A more modern nickname for Victoria than Vicky, Tori is used fairly frequently on its own, kept in the public eye by singer Tori Amos and actress Tori Spelling. Still, it's far from fashionable, sinking in the polls significantly since reaching a peak of Number 142 in 1994. It dropped out of the US popularity charts in 2021, and even earlier in the UK, perhaps owing to the sound-alike political party nickname.

Nevertheless, Tori was still chosen for 200 girls in a recent year, and it has the multicultural angle of also being a Japanese name meaning "bird" (or "peach tree", "peach and plum" or "winter jasmine" depending on the kanji elements used).
