What Does the Name Storie Mean?
Storie is a spelling variant of the English given name Story, and that name rests on two separate sources that are unrelated to each other despite sounding the same. The first is the English surname Story, which comes from the Middle English personal name Stori, taken from the Old Norse byname Stóri, "the great one" or "the big one," formed from Old Norse stórr, "big, great." The second is the ordinary English noun story, "a tale or account," which came into English through Anglo-Norman French estoire and estorie, from Latin historia.
In present-day use the name is generally read as the word name, carrying the sense "tale" or "narrative," rather than as the Old Norse nickname meaning "great one." Which of the two sources stands behind any single family's use of the name is often not recoverable, since the surname and the common noun have looked and sounded alike for centuries.
Storie Name History & Origins
The Old Norse byname Stóri was carried into northern and eastern England by Scandinavian settlers and stayed in use there as a personal name into the Middle Ages. From it came the English surname Story, along with the variant spellings Storie, Storey, and Storrie. The surname is found chiefly in northern England, the region where Norse naming customs took the firmest hold.
The common noun took a different route. Latin historia passed into Anglo-Norman French as estoire and estorie, and from French into Middle English as story, first in the sense of a narrative or account. Because the surname and the noun settled into the same sound, later users could draw on either one.
Story and the variant Storie are also used as given names in the English-speaking world, chiefly in the United States, where the surname is comparatively well established.
