Jerrold is a masculine name of Germanic origin, essentially a variant of Gerald, which combines elements meaning 'spear' and 'rule' or 'power.' This spelling variation emerged in English-speaking countries, gaining modest popularity in the early to mid-20th century. The name carries traditional connotations of strength, leadership, and martial prowess from its Germanic roots. Notable bearers include American playwright and screenwriter Jerrold Freedman and comedian Jerrold Lewis 'Jerry' Seinfeld (though he uses the shortened form). While less common today than in previous generations, Jerrold maintains appeal as a distinguished, slightly formal name with historical depth and a strong masculine quality.
