Larrey, a distinctive and uncommon given name, is of French origin. It is derived from the French surname 'Larré', which itself is likely derived from a place name meaning 'small clearing' or 'open field'. The name Larrey was popularized by Dominique Jean Larry (often spelled Larrey), a French surgeon known for his innovations in military medicine during the Napoleonic Wars.
"In 1953, there were seven babies named Larrey."
