Norrie is a Scottish surname and given name of Gaelic origin, meaning 'from the north'. It has been used as a masculine given name since the 19th century but has become more popular in recent decades for both boys and girls. The name Norrie gained some prominence in the early 20th century due to its association with the writer and poet Norman Douglas, who published under the pseudonym 'N. P. Norrie'. However, it remains relatively uncommon outside of Scotland.
"The name Norrie peaked in popularity during the mid-20th century with five births recorded each in 1943 and 1960. It then saw a resurgence in recent years, with eight births in both 2019 and 2022, totaling to forty-five births across these seven years."
