Warby

Warby is a proper noun used as a surname and given name in English-speaking regions. The name appears in historical records in England, and individuals bearing the surname are found across Anglophone countries. As with many English surnames, its precise origin is uncertain; it is commonly thought to derive from ancient personal names or place-based identifiers that were later adopted as surnames.

In contemporary usage, Warby has appeared in branding and commerce. One widely recognized use is in the name of the American eyewear retailer Warby Parker, founded in 2010 by Neil Blumenthal, Andrew Hunt, David Gilboa, and Jeffrey Raider. The company is known for its direct-to-consumer model, home try-on program, and philanthropy initiatives, and it contributed to the popularization of the term in modern consumer culture.

Outside branding, Warby may occur as a surname among individuals in English-speaking countries and can appear in historical or literary contexts where English names are used. The term itself does not designate a single, widely recognized entity beyond these uses, and its meaning is highly dependent on context.
