Kerry (KER-ee) (alternatively "Kerri") is both a masculine and feminine English language given name of Gaelic (Irish) origin. In its original form, Ciarraighe (''Ciarraí''), it denoted ''the people of Ciar'' (''ciar-raighe''). It was the name of the pre-Gaelic tribe who lived in the area of what is now County Kerry. However branches of the Ciarraighe were located all over Ireland: * Ciarraige Luachra - located in what is now north County Kerry and Sliabh Luachra, both named after them. * Ciarraige Cuirche - located due south of what is now Cork City, in Munster. * Ciarraige Áei - situated on the plains of central County Roscommon, in Connacht. * Ciarraighe Locha na nÁirne - found in eastern County Mayo in Connacht. * Ciarraige Airtech - on Magh nAirtig (plain of Airtig, northwest County Roscommon, parish of Tibohine. * Ciarraige Broengair - location uncertain. The Múscraige ''Breogain'' were found south-west of Cashel, Munster. * Ciarraige Choinnend - location uncertain. * Ciarraige Trimaige - location uncertain. * Ciarraige Aidhne - located in Aidhne, now south County Galway, Connacht. They claimed common descent from Ciar, son of Fergus mac Róich. Kerry is also a common surname and as such is of Welsh origin, though sometimes spelled Ceri. However, Ceri (pronounced Kerry) is more commonly in Wales a first name, either masculine or feminine. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kerry (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
