Berry, of Anglo-Saxon origin, is a unisex given name that has been used in various forms throughout history. It was once a popular name among English royalty and nobility, with the most notable bearer being King Edward III's daughter, Princess Isabella, who was commonly known as "Bery" or "Berry." The name is believed to have derived from the Old English word 'berie,' meaning 'berry.' Today, Berry is often associated with the fruit of the same name, which might contribute to its appeal for parents seeking a unique and nature-inspired moniker. In modern times, Berry has been more commonly used as a female given name, though it can be given to either gender.
Between the years of 1921 and 2023, there were a total of 364 babies named Berry born annually.
