Mory is that spunky, globe-trotting sparkler of a name that seems to wink “adventure” from its very first syllable. Pronounced MOR-ee, it carries echoes of West Africa’s sunlit savannahs—think the soulful notes of legendary Malian griots—while also tipping its hat to the Latin “Mauricius,” meaning “dark-skinned,” and teasing Indian ears with a playful nod to the festive chant “Ganapati Bappa Morya.” It’s as brisk and memorable as a monsoon breeze racing across Mumbai’s rooftops, yet as cozy as sharing jalebi at dawn. In the U.S., only a handful of newborn boys have worn it each year—just 11 in 2024, hovering around rank 913—so Mory feels like a well-kept secret waiting to bloom. Bold, cheerful and utterly unique, Mory is the kind of name that dances off the tongue and straight into the heart.
