182.0. "Cary" by VIDEO::MORRISSEY (I had the time of my life) Thu Feb 18 1988 15:03

    
    
    	My SO's name is Cary.  As in Cary Grant.
    
    	Anyone know where it originated and it's meaning?

    In my babynames book, it says that Cary is a form of Carey; Carroll.
    Carey is defined as "from near the castle (Welsch)" and Carroll
    is defined as "champion (-Irish Gaelic)" ~ also a "familiar form
    of Charles."
