Aeri

A modern looking choice that is also multicultural, Aeri may be seen as a contemporary creation, drawn from the words Airy and Aerial, connecting it to the air, the breeze, to spacious places, and to a casual, carefree attitude. Alternatively, it might find its roots in Eyrie, used to describe the nest of a bird of prey, or perhaps it could be a spin on Aries ("ram"), Arielle ("lion of God"), or Ari ("lion").

Given to a small number of girls in the US since 2013, it is also a Japanese name meaning "second, Asia + eternity + advantage" and a Korean name meaning "love + profit". Pronounced AH-EH-REE and AY-RIH respectively.

Pronounced AIR-ee.

As of October 2026, Aeri ranked #13237 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #11088 for girls in 2024.
