History and Origin
- For the Star Trek character, see Kira Nerys
Nerys is a Welsh feminine given name. It may be a modern coinage, an elaboration of Middle Welsh ner "lord, chief" (which relates to the modern Welsh words nêr "hero" and nerth "manliness, courage") using the popular suffix -ys (found in Carys, Dilys, Gladys and Glenys).
Famous bearers of the name are Welsh actress Nerys Hughes (born 1941) and Plaid Cymru politician Nerys Evans (born 1980); fictional bearers include:
- Nerys, supporting character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who
- Nerys Bailey, minor character (mother of Roger) in the British sitcom My Family
- Nerys Edwards, character in the Welsh-language television drama Gwaith/Cartref
- Nerys Morgan, character in the 2008 historical novel Gaffers' Row
Welsh: of uncertain derivation, perhaps intended to be from Welsh nêr lord, with the suffix -ys by analogy with other female names such as Dilys and Gladys. This was not used as a given name in the Middle Ages, and dates only from the recent Welsh cultural revival; this has been accompanied by a spate of modern coinages of Welsh names, enabling Welsh parents to give their children names reflecting their national identity.
