Jerred Origin and Meaning

The name Jerred is a boy's name.

Jerred is a masculine name representing a variant spelling of Jared or Jarrod. The name has Hebrew origins, derived from the biblical figure Jared who was the father of Enoch in the Book of Genesis. In Hebrew, the name means 'descent' or 'he who descended.' This alternative spelling emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought distinctive variations of traditional names. Jerred peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but remains relatively uncommon. The name carries biblical associations while maintaining a contemporary feel, and the double 'r' spelling gives it a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from the more conventional Jared.
