📖 À propos Garry
Garry est un prenom masculin anglais, variante orthographique de Gary, derive des elements du vieux haut-allemand "ger" (lance) et "-ric" (souverain), signifiant "maitre de la lance". Gary a pris son essor au XXe siecle aux Etats-Unis, en partie grace a la ville de Gary, dans l'Indiana (fondee en 1906). La graphie Garry a surtout prospere dans les pays du Commonwealth. En Australie, c'etait un prenom dominant dans l'apres-guerre, atteignant la 15e place en 1954 et figurant regulierement dans le top 20 jusqu'au milieu des annees 1950, avant de decliner progressivement. Aujourd'hui, Garry evoque la chaleur nostalgique d'un prenom masculin classique du milieu du XXe siecle, intimement lie a la generation du baby-boom.
