Name Meaning
English and Scottish: variant of Carr .
Hungarian (Kér): from the name of the ancient Hungarian tribe Kér. The tribe settled, after the Magyar conquest of the Carpathian basin in the 9th–10th centuries, in what is now known as Békés County, but King Steven I resettled the tribe in royal estates, far away from their original residence. Thus the 42 villages named after the Kér tribe are scattered around in Hungary.
Chinese: variant Romanization of the surname 寇, see Kou 1.
