Kerrie-Ann
Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kerrie-Ann: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1987.
A double-barrelled name with Celtic and Hebrew roots, Kerrie-Ann combines the Irish Kerry—from the Gaelic *Ciarraí*, meaning “descendant of Ciar,” where *ciar* translates to “dark” or “dark-haired”—with Ann, the English form of Hannah, meaning “grace” in Hebrew. The first element shares its origin with County Kerry in south-west Ireland, a landscape of rugged coastlines and rolling green hills. Though no widely famous bearer immediately comes to mind, the name enjoyed a modest popularity in Scotland during the 1980s and 1990s, when hyphenated pairings like this were especially fashionable. It reflects a wider trend of blending family or favourite names into a single, lyrical given name, lending it a distinctly personal, late-20th-century Scottish feel.
