Meaning and history
Nerys is a modern Welsh feminine name, probably based on Welsh nêr, meaning “lord,” “hero,” or “nobleman,” with a name-forming ending. Its precise modern formation is not entirely certain, so elaborate translations should be avoided. The name became familiar during the twentieth-century revival of Welsh-language personal names. Notable bearers include Welsh actor Nerys Hughes and Welsh politician Nerys Evans. It should retain its Welsh pronunciation and cultural context.
