Origins Available: English,
Irish
The surname Beary is derived from the Norman surname de Bury, and is from either the Chateau de Bury in
Normandy, or several place names in
England like Bury St. Edmund's, where "bury" is a form of "burrough." The variant Berry can be found in Counties Antrim and Mayo. The name Berry is also found in County
Offaly, but there it belongs to the O Beara sept and is a form of Beary.
Early Origins of the Beary family
The surname Beary was first found in County
Wicklow (Irish: Cill Mhantáin), known as the “last county,” created only in 1606, located on the East coast of
Ireland, today part of the Greater
Dublin Area, where Simon de Bury was listed in 1234. The family came to
Ireland with the Prestons, a family of Norman descent. The name de Bury was recorded in connection with Drogheda in
County Louth in the 14th century.
