Kerys
Kerys Origin and Meaning
Kerys is a feminine name of Welsh origin, believed to be a modern variation of Carys, which means 'love' or 'beloved' in Welsh. This contemporary spelling gives the traditional name a distinctive touch while maintaining its melodic quality. Kerys emerged in popularity during the late 20th century alongside other Celtic-inspired names as parents sought names with cultural significance and unique sounds. While not among the most common names, Kerys has gained modest recognition particularly in Wales and other parts of the United Kingdom. The name carries a gentle yet strong character, with its soft sound contrasting with the strength of its K initial. For parents seeking a name that feels both modern and connected to ancient Celtic traditions, Kerys offers an appealing option.
