Three Children with the same middle name?

Question

In my Turner Brick Wall Family, John and Sarah/Nancy/Elizabeth?? Turner had three sons with the Berry name. Simon Berry, Little Berry and Newberry/Euberry.  What could this indicate?  Could Newberry be from  Newberry SC?? We have no idea wheere they came from in SC.  Little Berry and Newberry are Twins, born in Gwinnett GA, and brother Simon Berry also born in Georgia. Tell me what you think.  Maybe it will give me a new direction in research.

Just FYI : it's Gwinnett Co. Georgia.
I would think it was a family name and not about Newberry SC as Jessica says below.

Thanks Kathy Zipperer.  I made the correction.  And thanks for your comment.

Answer 1

Southern families would often give children the surname of a grandmother or another relative (even a relative by marriage) as a sort of tribute. It's not impossible that they were named after physical locations; my great-grandfather named several of his sons after towns in Mississippi (Clinton, Braxton, Houston, Raymond).

And Jessica Key, your grandfather was a very intelligent man!  There was a Berry Turner, I researched that avenue, but no connection. Bibical names are also popular in many families back in the day.
