Cery is Welsh in Origin.

Cery is a modern Welsh‑influenced given name, most often feminine, viewed as a streamlined form of Ceri or Cerys. In Welsh orthography the initial C is hard, yielding KEH‑ree. Through its link to Ceri/Cerys and the root caru “to love” or cariad “love, darling,” it carries the sense of “love” or “beloved.” Some also use Cery as a clipped pet form of the medieval Welsh name Ceridwen. Usage appears mainly from the late 20th century in Wales and England, with very limited incidence elsewhere.

Close variants and relatives include Ceri (unisex), Cerys and Carys, as well as Cari; less directly, it overlaps in sound with Kerry/Keri, which are Irish in origin from Ciarraighe (“people of Ciar,” ‘dark, dusky’) and thus have a different meaning. Nicknames such as Ce, Cece, or Rie are common, and occasional spellings like Cerri or Ceri also occur.
