The Berry surname is thought to be English. It has two popular origins. The first source of the name is believed to be geographic, referring to people who come from Bury (in Lancashire and Devon), or the French province of Berri. Additionally, the name could be toponymic and refer to somebody from a 'bergh' (the Middle English word for hill).
