There are some variants in the Romance or Romantic languages (derived from the Latin): Pereira, Pereyra, Pereyro, Pereiro, Pereiros Pereire, Perera, Perer, Perero, Pereros;〔http://genealogy.about.com/library/surnames/p/bl_name-PERRY.htm〕 the Norman French ''perrieur'' (quarry), possibly referring to a quarryman.〔 Perry was recorded as a surname from the late 16th century in villages near Colchester, Essex, East England, such as Lexden and Copford.〔(Select surnames - Perry )〕
One source suggests the name is of ancient Norman origin and was found in Hampshire in 1066 according to the Domesday Book.〔()〕 Their name, however, is a reference to the Old English word perie, meaning pear tree. The family held a seat there on lands granted by Duke William of Normandy, their liege lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
==American Immigrant Derivations==
Perry has some resemblance with the Portuguese common surname Pereira, which means pear tree in Portuguese language. Because of that, many Portuguese immigrants to the USA (especially Massachusetts) chose to "Americanize" their Pereira surname to Perry. The Italian surname, Perri, related to "Peter," is also often Americanized to Perry. In addition, many early Welsh immigrants to the southern American colonies arrived without knowing how to read or write, so the name Parry, derived from the Welsh "Ap Harry" meaning Harrison, often became Perry.
