Meaning: skin of a tree or fruit

Kiri is a gender-neutral baby name of Māori origin. Meaning "skin of a tree or fruit," the name Kiri carries more than what meets the eye. The skin, or husk, of fruit is multi-purposed, giving baby a ripe analogy to look to every day. Not only is the husk often the healthiest part of a fruit or vegetable, it also enables its survival against the natural harshness of the outside world. Just like a tree’s history is worn on the outside, the name Kiri can remind baby of their journey through life. These connections with durability can inspire baby to be strong against life’s greatest odds.
