Keri is English, Irish in Origin.
Keri is a modern English respelling of Kerry, a given name taken from the Irish county name Ciarraí. The Irish form goes back to Old Irish Ciarraige, the tribal name of the group associated with the eponymous ancestor Ciar. Ciar is built on Irish ciar, black or dark, with the collective suffix -raige indicating a people or kin-group; the literal sense is Ciar’s people, not simply dark-haired.
As a first name, Kerry entered English-language use largely through Irish place and surname usage; Keri is one of the streamlined feminine spellings that became visible in North America during the mid-20th century. U.S. records show its main period of use in the 1970s and 1980s, followed by marked decline. Related spellings include Kerri, Kerrie, and Kerry. Public bearers such as actress Keri Russell and singer Keri Hilson reflect its chiefly modern English-speaking profile.
