About Jerrie

Jerrie has historical connections to notable women including Jerrie Mock, the first woman to fly solo around the world. With its friendly, approachable sound and vintage charm, Jerrie represents the mid-century trend of using nicknames as given names while maintaining a cheerful, unpretentious quality that feels both familiar and distinctive.
