📖 À propos Terry

Terry est un prenom anglais issu de la forme anglicisee du vieux francais Thierry et de sa racine germanique Theodoric, compose de theud (peuple) et ric (pouvoir, gouvernant), signifiant "gouvernant du peuple". Le nom est entre dans le monde anglophone sous l'influence normande apres 1066, d'abord comme nom de famille avant de s'imposer comme prenom au XXe siecle. En Australie, Terry a connu un pic de popularite en 1959 (rang 49), avant de decliner progressivement dans les annees 1970. Il s'utilise aussi bien au masculin qu'au feminin, ce qui en fait un prenom classique particulierement polyvalent.
