Garry

Meaning of Garry

Garry is a friendly twist on the classic Gary, rooted in the Germanic Gerard—“brave spearman”—and echoing the Old English gar (spear) and rīc (rule). With its warm “GAIR-ee” sound, it feels both sturdy and approachable, like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Though Garry peaked mid-20th century, today it ranks around 905 in the U.S., giving your little one a dash of vintage cool without disappearing into obscurity. It carries a quietly confident vibe—think riverside charm meets timeless courage—and adds just enough nostalgia to spark smiles. If you’re looking for a name that stands out gently and travels well from playground to boardroom, Garry might be the perfect choice.
