Currie is a unisex given name of Scottish origin, derived from the family surname Currey, which was derived from the Scottish-Gaelic word 'cuiridh', meaning 'of the water'. The name gained popularity in Scotland during the Middle Ages and was often used for both boys and girls. It has since become a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"Over two decades, the name Currie saw a fluctuation in popularity, with peaks of 13 births in 1976 and 7 births in both 1974 and 1989. However, there were years with fewer than 6 births, notably 1987 and 1994, when only 5 babies named Currie were born each year. The total number of babies named Currie over this period was 54."
