Farry is in Origin.

Farry is a rare given name with roots in an Irish surname. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó Fearaigh/Ó Fearadhaigh, meaning “descendant of Fearadhach,” a personal name built on fear, “man,” with the adjectival suffix -ach, yielding senses like “manly” or “stalwart.” The surname clusters historically in Ulster and Connacht, and appears in parish and land records from the 17th century onward; as a first name, Farry emerges much later, adopted in English-speaking countries in the late 20th century as a light, modern choice.

Variant spellings and cognate surnames include Ferry, Faery, O’Farry, and the rarer Farrye; related given names are Farrell, Farran/Farren, Farron, Faron, and Faris. Farry functions as a unisex option and also as a nickname for any Farr- beginning name. The appeal blends Irish heritage with a breezy, two-syllable sound that feels familiar yet uncommon.
