Fair, blessed poetry; To love
Watching your little cherub grow up will be like poetry in motion! In this spirit, why not give your baby a lovely and lyrical name like Ceri? Meaning “fair,” “blessed poetry,” and “to love,” this gender-neutral moniker is the anglicized version of the Welsh name Kerry. Though Kerry has long been the more popular of the two names, there is still a handful of famous Ceris, from the painter Ceri Richards to the soccer player Ceri Evans. Aside from its delightfully Celtic charm, Ceri has a short and sweet feel that makes it a worthy choice for your pride and joy.
