The Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic masculine given name Garaidh (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈkaɾɪ]) is of uncertain derivation but as a name occurs frequently in Middle and Old Irish texts (in its Old Irish form Garaid), for example in the 13th century Acallam na Senórach: Donn mac Aeda, mheic Garaid, meic Morna 'Donn son of Aodh, son of Garaidh, son of Morna'. Garaidh is commonly rendered in English as Gary. It is also commonly (esp. in Scotland) spelled Garry. However, the name Gary is of Germanic origin (from gar meaning 'spear').

Garaidh is commonly rendered in English as Gary. It is also commonly (esp. in Scotland) spelled Garry. However, the name Gary is of Germanic origin (from gar meaning 'spear'). Although visually similar, most occurrences of -gar(r)y in place-names are unrelated to the name. In place-names, -gar(r)y is usually derived from one of the following elements:
* Old Norse gerði, originally meaning enclosure but later on land around a dwelling, pasture, e.g. Geàrraidh na h-Aibhne Garynahine
* a hydronymic element (usually a river name) e.g. Gleann Garadh/Gharadh , Inbhir Gharadh/Garraidh Invergarry (en)
