Ery is a rare modern given name and nickname with multiple plausible roots.

Usage is sporadic before the late twentieth century, but the name has gained modest visibility with the rise of minimalist, unisex choices. Ery works across genders and languages as a compact call name. Close variants and related forms include Eri, Eryk, Eric, Erik, Erica/Erika, Erin, and Eryn/Erynn.
