Meaning & Story
From the Basque name Turi, a diminutive of Arturo (Arthur) — meaning 'bear' in its Proto-Celtic origins, evoking strength and protectiveness.
Turi is a compact, interesting name with unexpected Basque roots. It sounds warm and approachable while carrying the hidden weight of 'bear' in its etymology — which gives it a pleasingly contradictory quality, like a small dog with a big personality. It's the kind of name a well-traveled owner might give a pet they found in an unusual place or simply because they love the way it sounds. Short, distinctive, and memorable.
