History & Origin
Kerryann is a compound name fusing Kerry, from the Irish county Ciarrai, with the classic Ann, 'grace.' Double names of this shape, like Maryann and Roseann, were a warm mid-century fashion, and the Irish Kerry gave this one a bright, breezy feel. Its meaning combines the 'dark one' of Kerry with the 'grace' of Ann.
Kerryann was always rare as one written name, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1983, since many were simply Kerry Ann. A woman named Kerryann then is in her forties today.
