Throughout the course of history most surnames have undergone change for many reasons. A father and son may have spelt their name differently. Many are simple spelling changes by a person who spoke his name, phonetically, to a scribe, a priest, or a recorder. Many names held prefixes or suffixes which almost became optional as they passed through the centuries, or were adopted by different branches to signify either a political or religious adherence. Hence, we have many variations in this name, Noury some of which are Nourry, Le Noury, Nourie, Nowrie, Nourrie, Le Nourry, Nowry Norries Norris but all are included in the basic french origin of the surname.
