I've seen several conflicting origins for my first name. It's a common
 Irish name, supposedly and what i've read is this:

- A Derivation of Barruch
- A Celtic word meaning "marksman" (I assume Irish.)
- Also from a Celtic word meaning "fair hair":  "Barry" is derived
from "Bairre", a nickname for Fionnbharr ("Fair head")

Incidentally, I was named after a Jewish doctor from New York who
delivered my brother and I :).
