The name is composed of two elements: "*gaizaz" (spear, pike, javelin) and "*rīkijaz" (kingly, royal). Another source states that the name Garry means "spear" in Old German. The name has been influenced by the spelling of Barry and has also been associated with the Gaelic Garaidh and the Irish-German Gerard. The meaning of Garry is related to its origins in the Germanic language and Old English words. It signifies "spear" and "ruler" in English, "spear" in German, "hard or bold spear" in Irish, and "gentle" in Welsh. The name has a rich history and has been associated with notable figures such as actor Gary Cooper and Irish statesman Garret FitzGerald.
