Terrie
Pet form of Theresa, a name of uncertain origin sometimes connected with the Greek theros, summer; it also serves as a short form of Terence.
Terrie in 2025
Terrie was not given to any babies in 2025. The Social Security Administration only publishes a name once at least five babies receive it in a year, so Terrie has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Terrie
Terrie reached its highest point in 1961, when 1,133 babies were given the name, ranking 506th that year.
Across the 108 years of records since 1918, 20,068 babies have been named Terrie. Half of them were born before 1960, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Baby Boomers.
