A misspelling magnet

The generator records 6 spelling variants around Kerry (IPA […]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #22,395 among 4,158 “K” headwords. Dominant gloss: "ein County bzw. eine Grafschaft der Provinz Munster, Republik Irland".

Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for Kerry, with forms such as "ekrry", "kerryy", and "kery".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "key", "Kerze", "of", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is Kerry, spelled K-E-R-R-Y.
