Torie is a name of Greek origin and it means "gifts of the gods". This name has been used by many people throughout history but it is most famously associated with Torie Cook, an American actress who was born in the early 20th century.

Today, Torie remains a unique and beautiful name that continues to be used by families around the world.
The name Torie has seen a varied trend in popularity over the past six decades in the United States. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, it was relatively uncommon, with fewer than 20 births per year between 1958 and 1967.
However, there was a significant increase in its usage during the mid-1970s. In 1975, there were 45 births, more than doubling to 131 births in just one year later in 1976. This marked the beginning of Torie's peak popularity.

More recently, in the 2020s, the name Torie has seen a slight resurgence, with double-digit figures reported in both 2020 (7 births) and 2021 (9 births), followed by another increase to 8 births in 2022.
