Harris is an English and Welsh patronymic surname derived from the personal name Harry (a vernacular form of Henry) and the genitive ending -s. It is also found in Ireland, largely as a result of the Plantation of Ulster, though it may in some cases represent an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó hEarchadha.
Other surnames with the same meaning include Harries, Parry and Perry (derived from the Welsh ap Harri), and Harrison.
