Torriyah, derived from the Swahili name "Teresa," is a unique and beautiful feminine given name of African origin. It was introduced by American author Toni Morrison in her 1973 novel "Sula," where she created the character "Torrise" for her protagonist's childhood friend. The name Torriyah has since gained popularity, particularly among African-American communities, as a distinct and memorable choice for baby girls.
"Torriyah had five babies born with that name in 2014."
