Where does the name Perry come from?

It may come from the Middle English perrie, “pear tree,” or from the Welsh ap Herry, “son of Herry.” A famous bearer of the surname was Matthew Perry (1794 to 1858), the American naval officer who opened Japan to the West. Wikipedia calls Perry a unisex given name and lists a section of women who bear it.
