Garry Origin and Meaning

The name Garry is a girl's name.

Garry as a feminine name is an uncommon variation of the more traditional male name Gary. Originally derived from Germanic elements meaning 'spear' or from the place name Gair (a fortress), Garry has Old English and Germanic roots. The spelling with two r's gives this traditionally masculine name a slightly softer appearance when used for girls. Garry is extremely rare as a feminine name, reflecting the modern trend of gender-neutral naming practices. While popular for boys in the mid-20th century, its use for either gender has declined significantly since then. Parents choosing Garry for a daughter might appreciate its strength, simplicity, and subtle gender-bending quality.
