A common male name, or slang usage that has become less common in modern English.
From Irish 'Barra' or Welsh origins, originally meaning 'fair-haired' or related to Saint Finbarr; it became a popular English name.
The name Barry peaked in popularity in the 1960s-70s, and now it feels quintessentially retro—names go in and out of style like fashion, and future generations will recognize 'Barry' as a distinctly millennial-era name.
