  1. English and Scottish: topographic name for someone who lived by a patch of wet ground overgrown with brushwood, northern Middle English kerr (Old Norse kjarr). A legend grew up that the Kerrs were left-handed, on theory that the name is derived from Gaelic cearr 'wrong-handed', 'left-handed'.
  2. Irish: see Carr.
  3. This surname has also absorbed examples of German Kehr.
