Urie
Meaning of Urie
Urie (pronounced YOO-ree) is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, rooted in the word “Uri,” which means “my light” or “light of God.” Over time it has appeared in Scottish records both as a surname and, more sparingly, as a first name, granting it a quiet Anglo-Scottish pedigree. In the United States its use remains exceptionally uncommon—annual counts have hovered between five and eleven newborns in recent years, yielding rankings in the high 800s to low 900s—indicating a steady but niche appeal. Contemporary recognition has been enhanced by figures such as musician Brendon Urie, whose surname has subtly familiarized the public with the name’s distinctive sound. For parents seeking a concise choice that balances historical resonance with modern individuality, Urie offers an analytically appealing and culturally textured option.
