Carrbry Origin and Meaning

The name Carrbry is a boy's name.

Carrbry is an unusual masculine name derived from the ancient Irish name Cairbre (also spelled Carbry or Carbery). In Irish mythology, Cairbre was the name of several significant figures, including Cairbre Lifechair, a High King of Ireland. The name possibly derives from the Gaelic elements 'cairb' meaning 'charioteer' or possibly 'hewer.' Carrbry appears to be a rare anglicized spelling variant, less common than Carbry or Carbery. The name has strong connections to Irish heritage and traditional Gaelic naming patterns but remains extremely rare in modern usage. As with many ancient Celtic names, it carries historical weight and cultural significance while offering a distinctive option for those seeking to honor Irish ancestry. The unusual double-r spelling gives this variant a unique visual character.
