Perrie

A variant of the classic name, Perry, Perrie is a gender-neutral name with French, English, Welsh, and German origins. Meaning "pear tree,” this name is particularly fitting for those who will grow up amongst nature and trees that bear life themselves. True to its Middle English form, Perrie made its debut as an English surname perhaps inspired by the French p_oirier_, meaning "pear tree." It also appears in Welsh as ap Herry, meaning "son of Herry," and is further connected to the German Heimirich, meaning "home-ruler." For those with French heritage, they might be familiar with the Loire Valley in central-west France, which is known for its pear trees. If baby has roots in this part of the world, Perrie is a rather fruity choice for your sweet little one.
