Thinking about the name
Parry
English origin
“An English surname derived from the Welsh 'ap Harry,' meaning 'son of Harry,' though it also relates to the verb 'parry' (to deflect or ward off). Parry carries both genealogical heritage and a sense of agility and wit. The name works as both a historical surname and a distinctly modern given name.”
