Torre

Meaning of Torre

Torre (pronounced TOR) is a unisex given name of Spanish and Italian origin, derived from the Latin turris, meaning “tower.” It evokes the medieval fortifications that once punctuated the Mediterranean skyline—symbols of vigilance, resilience and communal identity—and has long served as both a surname and place name throughout Iberia and Italy. Though it remains uncommon in English-speaking regions, Torre has seen steady adoption for boys and girls in the United States, reflecting a wider trend toward concise names with architectural resonance. Its crisp, single-syllable form combines a sense of strength and stability with rich cross-cultural heritage.
