Turi is a short form of the Italian name Curzio, which means 'from Curium', an ancient city in Sicily. It's also a variant spelling of the Basque name Torre, meaning 'tower'. Turi gained popularity in the late 20th century and has since been used independently as a given name. The name Turi rolls off the tongue with its simple, two-syllable structure, making it appealing for parents seeking a unique yet easy-to-pronounce name.
