An uncommon Old English pick — distinctive and rare.
A female given name from English.
Stormy is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old English origin, from the English word storm, meaning 'turbulent weather' and by extension a nature name evoking energy, power, and dramatic weather. As a given name, Stormy carries a rebellious, untamed quality.
Over 7,610 U.S. births are recorded. Stormy has an inherently bold character — a name that doesn't apologize for taking up space. Like weather itself, it's impossible to ignore.
Stormy was #1486 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #1835, but its charm endures.
