Barry (name)
Barry is both a given name and a surname. The given name is an Anglicised form of several Irish personal names, whilst the surname has numerous etymological origins, and is derived from both place names and personal names.
==Origin of the name==
The given name ''Barry'' is an Anglicised form of various names stemming from the Irish names ''Finnbarr'' ("fair-topped", "fair-haired") and ''Barrfind'' ("fair-headed", "fair-haired").〔Ó Corráin; Maguire (1981) pp. 29, 101.〕 For example, ''Barry'' is sometimes derived from the Irish ''Bairre'', ''Barra'', and ''Barre'', which are in turn forms of the name ''Barrfind''.〔Ó Corráin; Maguire (1981) p. 29.〕 Furthermore, ''Barry'' is sometimes an Anglicised form of the Irish ''Finnbarr'', which also has short forms of ''Bairre'', ''Barra'', and ''Barre''.〔Hanks; Hardcastle; Hodges (2006) pp. 28, 342; Ó Corráin; Maguire (1981) p. 101.〕 Similarly, ''Barry'' is sometimes an Anglicised form of the latter short form ''Barra''.〔Hanks; Hardcastle; Hodges (2006) pp. 28, 342.〕 In other cases, ''Barry'' is an Anglicised form of the Irish ''Berach'' ("pointed", "sharp").〔Ó Corráin; Maguire (1981) p. 31.〕 The given name ''Barry'' is one of many names, used throughout the world, that is derived from Gaelic.〔Hanks; Hardcastle; Hodges (2006) p. xvii.〕 Since the twentieth century, the name has become very popular in Australia. A variant form of the given name is ''Barrie''. Pet forms of the name are ''Baz'' and ''Bazza''.〔Hanks; Hardcastle; Hodges (2006) p. 28.〕 Barry is both a given name for males and a surname, being the English form of the Irish names Bareth (short for Fionnbharrth), Barra, Barrath, Barenth, Barold, Bearrach, Barizard or Finbarr.
The surname ''Barry'' has numerous origins. In some cases it is an Anglicised form of the Irish ''Ó Beargha'', meaning "descendant of ''Beargh''". The byname ''Beargh'' means "plunderer" or "spear-like". In other cases ''Barry'' is an Anglicisation of the Irish ''Ó Báire'', meaning "descendant of ''Báire''".〔Reaney; Wilson (1995) p. 30; ''Barry Family History'' (n.d.).〕 The personal name ''Báire'' is a short form of the Irish names ''Bairrfhionn''〔''Barry Family History'' (n.d.).〕 and ''Fionnbharr''.〔Reaney; Wilson (1995) p. 30; ''Barry Family History'' (n.d.).〕 In other cases ''Barry'' is a patronymic form of the personal name ''Henry''.〔''Barry Family History'' (n.d.).〕 In such cases, the name is partly derived from the Welsh ''ap'', as is the case of the similar surname ''Parry'', which is in turn derived from the Welsh ''ap Harry''.〔Reaney; Wilson (1995) p. 339; ''Barry Family History'' (n.d.); ''Parry Family History'' (n.d.).〕 In other cases, the surname ''Barry'' is derived from a place name, sometimes seemingly of Continental origin,〔Reaney; Wilson (1995) p. 30.〕 and sometimes derived from a British place name, such as Barry, Angus in Scotland.〔Reaney; Wilson (1995) p. 30; Black (1971) p. 57.〕 The surname ''Barry'', when borne in Ireland, is chiefly derived from the name borne by the Anglo-Norman de Barry family.〔Reaney; Wilson (1995) p. 30; MacLysaght (1972) pp. 52–54.〕 In Irish, this family's name is rendered ''de Barra''. In Ireland, the surname ''Barry'' is most common in Munster and south Leinster. The concentrations of the surname in County Limerick could correspond with the ''Ó Beargha'' origin of the name, whilst the concentration of the surname in West Cork could correspond with the ''Ó Báire'' origin.〔de Bhulbh (1997) p. 136.〕
As a given name, ''Barry'' currently is less common than it once was. It rose in usage during the 1930s and 1940s, and was in the top 100 names through the 1970s. In recent years, the name has not even made the top 1000 list of names (the last time was in 2004, where it ranked 963). Barry's highest rank was 61, which was achieved in 1962.
