Orrie is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of American origin. It was popularized by the author O. Henry, whose real name was Francis Pharcellus Barnard but went by 'O. Henry' professionally. The name Orrie is believed to have been derived from his nickname 'O'. While its usage has been limited historically, it remains an option for those seeking a unique and memorable name for their child.
"Orrie experienced variable popularity throughout the late 19th to mid-20th century, with its peak years being 1896 and 1928, each having 13 and 10 births respectively. However, it seems to have been more common in the early 20th century, with a steady decline after the 1930s."
