📖 À propos Perry
Perry est un prénom anglais à double origine : un nom de famille topographique tiré du vieux français perie ("poirier") et un diminutif de Petrus (Pierre), signifiant "rocher". Répandu aux États-Unis et en Australie pendant une grande partie du XXe siècle, il a acquis une visibilité mondiale grâce à des personnalités comme Katy Perry, Matthew Perry et Tyler Perry. En Australie, il s'est classé 95e en 1959. Il a également des racines galloises en tant que variante de Parry ("fils de Harry").
