I'm looking for information in connection to Kerry & Carey. I'm posting here as well as the forename board due to the fact that both names are also connected to various surnames.


From the information I've found in various places Kerry is actually derived from Ciarraí while Carey is derived from Ó Ciardha ("Descendant of Ciardha"). However both Ciarraí & Ciarda seem to be connected to Ciar and both mean "Dark".

I'm still trying to find any other connections to these, so if anyone has any other information, please let me know.
