Perrie is English in Origin.

Perrie is a modern unisex given name, most often a variant of the English surname-given name Perry. Perry arose chiefly as a topographic surname for someone who lived by a pear tree (from Old English pyrige, “pear tree”); in Wales it sometimes reflects the patronymic ap Herry, “son of Herry,” a medieval form of Harry/Henry. Less commonly in Britain, Perry has functioned as a nickname for Peregrine (“traveler”). Thus Perrie carries senses of “pear tree,” “son of Harry,” or, by extension, “traveler.”

As a given name, Perry has been used since the 18th–19th centuries; the Perrie spelling appears in British and American records and rose in visibility in the 2010s through singer Perrie Edwards, encouraging feminine use. Variant forms include Perry (standard), Perri, and Peri. The name remains recognizably English yet feels fresh and contemporary.
