<p>Barrie is a masculine name of Irish and Scottish Gaelic origin, derived from the name Barry, which means 'spear' or 'fair-haired.' It gained some recognition through association with the Scottish author J.M. Barrie, creator of Peter Pan. The name has a friendly, approachable quality while still maintaining a certain strength. While traditionally masculine, Barrie has occasionally been used for girls as well, particularly in English-speaking countries. As a male name, it peaked in popularity during the mid-20th century but has since become less common, giving it a somewhat vintage appeal. The spelling with an 'ie' ending lends a slightly softer touch to this otherwise straightforward name, making it an interesting option for parents seeking something familiar yet not overused.</p>
