Facts About
Barry
Barry is a surname thought to come from the French word ‘bari’ which referred to the rampart of a castle. It would have originally been used as a topographical surname given to a family living under these ramparts. However, the name is also common in Scotland due to the town of Barry. Here it would have been used as a locational surname given to those who had moved away from the town of Barry and into a new town, assigned to them to distinguish them from the locals. |
