| Berkery, Barragry, Birracree, Berecry, Birragra and other phonetically similar names are anglicised derivatives of the original gaelic names of Mac Biortagra or Mac Beartagra. In the original gaelic form the name means 'Son of the shrewd or acute pleader'. This is consistent with its purported source, when the bearers of the name were the judges to the O'Neills, Princes of Ulster and according to one source were noted for their courage and determination. | ||||||||||||||||||||
