Seiry
A girl's name with 17 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Seiry peaked during the Gen Z era, when 7 babies received this name in a single year (2006). That era was defined by globally influenced, diversity-driven naming, and Seiry has a more concentrated history, reflecting a specific cultural moment rather than a broad generational wave.
Seiry is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Seiry is a rare feminine name of uncertain origin. It may be a variant of Ceiri (a Welsh name) or a creative coinage influenced by Irish or Welsh naming patterns. The unusual -ry ending gives it a distinctive, breezy quality.
With only 17 recorded uses in SSA history, Seiry is a genuinely rare name — one of those finds that feels half-whispered from an old country, half-invented on American soil. It has a faint Celtic quality that makes it feel ancient and fresh at once.
