Tori, of Latin origin, is a charming and modern unisex given name. It has gained popularity in recent decades, particularly in English-speaking countries like the United States and Australia. This moniker is often used as a short form for Victoria or other similar names such as Victoria, Torrance, or Toril. The name Tori exudes a sense of simplicity and approachability, making it appealing to parents seeking a unique yet recognizable name for their child.
The name Tori experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the past six decades. In the early 1960s and late 1970s to mid-1980s, its usage remained relatively low, with fewer than ten births per year.

After the mid-1980s, Tori's popularity began a slow decline, reaching its lowest point in recent years with only 5 births recorded in 2023. Despite this trend, there have been intermittent spikes in usage, such as the 36 births recorded in both 1992 and 1994.
