Barry is both a given name for males and a surname, being the English form of the Irish names Bareth (short for Fionnbharrth), Barra, Barrath, Barenth, Barold, Bearrach or Finbarr. The Irish meaning is "spear".
As a given name, Barry currently is less common than it once was. It rose in usage during the 1930s and 1940s, and was in the top 100 names through the 1970s. In recent years, the name has not even made the top 1000 list of names (the last time was in 2004, where it ranked 963). Barry's highest rank was 61, which was achieved in 1962.
Barry can also be used as a diminutive of the name Bartholomew or Barrington, and, in turn, has its own informal diminutives, Baz and Bazza.
