Kerry or Kerri is both a masculine and feminine English language given name of Gaelic (Irish) origin.

In its original form Ciarraighe (Ciarraí), it denoted the people of Ciar (ciar-raighe), Ciar being the son of Fergus mac Róich,[2] who gave his name to County Kerry.[3] Ciarraighe was thus the name of the pre-Gaelic tribe who lived in the area of what is now County Kerry. However branches of the Ciarraighe were all over Ireland:

  • Ciarraige Luachra - in what is now north County Kerry and Sliabh Luachra, both named after them.
  • Ciarraige Cuirche - due south of what is now Cork City, in Munster.
  • Ciarraige Áei - on the plains of central County Roscommon, in Connacht.
  • Ciarraighe Locha na nÁirne - in eastern County Mayo in Connacht.
  • Ciarraige Airtech - on Magh nAirtig (plain of Airtig, northwest County Roscommon, parish of Tibohine.
  • Ciarraige Broengair - location uncertain. The Múscraige Breogain were found south-west of Cashel, Munster.
  • Ciarraige Choinnend - location uncertain.
  • Ciarraige Trimaige - location uncertain.
  • Ciarraige Aidhne - in Aidhne, now south County Galway, Connacht.

Kerry is also a common surname and as such is of Welsh origin, though sometimes spelled Ceri. However, Ceri (pronounced Kerry) is more commonly in Wales a first name, either masculine or feminine.
