It may derive from the English West Country, viz. Castle Cary on the River Cary in Somerset and/or Carey Barton on the River Carey in Devon, containing either the Pre-Celtic element 'kar'- 'stony/hard' (Watts, 2004), or the Celtic language element 'car' 'dear/pleasant' (Hanks, 2003). Carew, Pembrokeshire, from Welsh language 'Caeriw'- with the Celtic root 'caer'- 'fort', or from places in Cornwall, perhaps with the cognate Cornish element 'ker', or the Pre-Celtic element 'car'- 'stony/stones' as in Carey Tor, Bodmin Moor. Carey occurs as a variant of (de) Carrey in archives in Normandy, Burgundy, Franche-Comt\u00E9 etc., in France from habitational names, possibly with the Pre-Celtic element 'car'-'stony/stones'. The Norman name is probably the origin of the surname in Guernsey, Channel Islands."@en .
