Xerri

Xerri
Xerri
Ce nom maltais a parfois été italianisé en Scerri, ou anglicisé en Sherry, le x initial se prononçant comme un ch. Sa signification demeure assez obscure. Certains ont envisagé le basque xerri (= cochon), mais rien ne permet d'affirmer que le nom soit d'origine basque. Un rapprochement avec l'arabe sharr (= mauvais, méchant) serait plus plausible, mais là encore rien de certain.
