Aeri is most commonly the Korean feminine name Ae-ri (애리). Its meaning depends on the hanja chosen: Ae (愛) conveys “love” or “affection,” while Ri (利, 里, 梨 and others) can mean “benefit,” “village,” or “pear,” among other readings, so combinations range from “loving benefit” to “love of the village” or “beloved pear.” The sound also appeals in English, where Aeri reads like “airy” and is occasionally adopted as a modern, minimalist given name.

In Korea, Ae-ri has been in steady use since the mid-20th century and appears among artists and entertainers (for example, pansori singer Park Ae-ri), reinforcing its contemporary-yet-traditional feel. In Japan, Aeri can be written phonetically (あえり/アエリ) and, when kanji are used, meanings vary by characters, often involving “love.” Variants and related forms include Ae-ri, Ari, Eri, Aerin, and Ariel; note that Aerie/Aery (an eagle’s nest) is an unrelated English word.
