Jerrey Origin and Meaning

The name Jerrey is a boy's name.

Jerrey is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Jerry, which itself originated as a diminutive of names like Jeremiah, Jerome, or Gerald. The alternative spelling with an extra 'e' gives the name a unique twist while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Jerrey has never been widely popular, remaining a rare variation compared to the more common Jerry, which peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1930s-1950s. This spelling variation might appeal to parents who appreciate the sound and familiarity of Jerry but desire a more distinctive written form. The name has a friendly, approachable quality while still maintaining its masculine roots in traditional biblical and Germanic names.
