Meaning: lady, welsh origin
I am assuming that quite a lot of people reading this blog will not have come across the name Nerys before. It is Welsh, which you will probably recognise if you are familiar with the Welsh name Carys as they look very similar. I like to drop names into the blog which are unusual or rarely heard of; I really like learning about new names and I hope you do too. The meaning of this name comes from welsh for Lord (Ner-) and then the feminine ending gives it the meaning of 'lady'.
I don't know of anyone with the name Nerys, even celebrities, so this name is refreshingly free of any associations for me. I think the -rys ending is energetic and intriguing and the name as a whole looks attractive and original. I imagine a girl with a sparkly, bubbly personality.
What does this name make you think of?
Other welsh girls' names you may not have heard of, which I think are lovely:
Betrys, Briallen, Elerie, Ffion, Lowri and Seren
