Norris is a boy’s name of English and Scottish origin, inspired by the Old French word norreis, which means “northerner.” Although the name Norris has been around since the Norman Conquest, American martial artist Chuck Norris accounts for its claim to fame. After starring in iconic action films like Breaker! Breaker! and The Way of the Dragon with Bruce Lee, it's no wonder Chuck Norris is one of the most well-known actors out there.
