Jerie, of Germanic origin, is a unique and distinctive given name. It's composed of two elements: 'Jer', which means 'spear', and '-ie', a suffix often found in diminutives or familiar forms of names. This results in Jerie being interpreted as a pet form of names like Gerald or Jeremy. In some cultures, it may also be associated with the French name 'Jérôme'. While not widely popular, Jerie carries an air of individuality and approachability, making it a charming choice for those seeking a less common name.
"Jerie was a popular name among parents for their newborn daughters during the first half of the twentieth century, with peak years being 1944 and 1952, both having 12 births each. However, its popularity declined significantly after the 1960s, with only a few births recorded annually thereafter."
