Perrey is English, French in Origin.
Perrey is a rare modern spelling of the surname-derived given name Perry. Its principal origin is English: from Old English pyrige, “pear tree,” and Middle English perry, the pear beverage, used for people who lived by a pear orchard or made perry. In other lineages it reflects the Welsh patronymic ap Herry/Harry (“son of Henry”), which produced both Parry and Perry; less commonly it can echo French surnames from Pierre/Perrin. As a given name, Perrey therefore carries senses of “pear tree; perry maker” or “son of Henry,” depending on family history.
As a forename, Perrey followed the British-American habit of adopting surnames in the 18th–19th centuries, with broader male use mid‑20th century and increasing unisex appeal today. Variant forms include Perry, Perri, Perrie, Peri, and Parry (Welsh-related). Its brisk, friendly sound and unconventional spelling offer a contemporary twist on a familiar heritage name.
