Berie is English, Germanic in Origin.

Berie is a rare, modern-leaning given name with plausible roots in English and Hebrew traditions. As a variant of Berry/Berrie, it derives from Old English berie, “berry,” or from the locative surname Berry/Bury (< byrig, “fortified place”). As a given name, Berry and its respellings appear sporadically in Britain and North America from the late 19th century, often via family surnames or nature themes. Another pathway points to Beeri in the Hebrew Bible; from be’er, “well, spring,” plus the possessive -i, it yields “my well” or “well-man.” Berie may also serve as a pet form of Bernice/Berenice (Greek Phereníkē, “bringing victory”) or of Bernard/Bernardo (Germanic bern, “bear,” + hard, “brave, hardy”). Variants include Berry, Berrie, Beri, and Beeri; nicknames Bee and Berri. Unisex in use and still uncommon, Berie blends gentle sound with nature and biblical resonance.
