A variant spelling of 'Kerri' or 'Kerry,' which can be a personal name or, in some contexts, a place name, particularly referring to County Kerry in Ireland.
As a given name, 'Kerry' likely derives from the Irish place name County Kerry, which comes from Irish 'Ciarraighe,' named after the Ciarraige people. When used as a first name, it became common in English-speaking countries in the 20th century.
Kerri is one of those interesting names that started as a place name in Ireland and then people began naming their children after it—it's the reverse of how most place names originated from people's names! The Irish origin gives it that Gaelic 'Kier' sound.
