Kerryann Origin and Meaning

The name Kerryann is a girl's name.

Kerryann is a feminine compound name combining Kerry and Ann. Kerry derives from Irish Gaelic, possibly meaning 'dark-haired' or referring to County Kerry in Ireland, which means 'people of Ciar.' Ann comes from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace.' This hyphenated-style name was particularly popular in the 1950s-1970s in English-speaking countries, especially among families with Irish heritage. Kerryann offers the appeal of traditional elements in a slightly more distinctive combination. While less commonly given today than in previous decades, it represents a naming trend of combining shorter names to create a unique identity while honoring family or cultural connections.
