Jeryl is an uncommon, distinctive name of American origin. It is a gender-neutral name, often used for both boys and girls. The meaning behind Jeryl is 'ruler of the spear,' derived from the combination of two elements: 'Ger' which means 'spear,' and 'yl' which denotes 'power or ruler.' This name offers a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Jeryl experienced periods of popularity and decline throughout the years, with notable spikes in the mid-40s and late 40s to early 50s. However, it's clear that this name has never been exceptionally common, as its highest yearly count was just 23 births in 1952. From the late 70s onwards, Jeryl has become quite rare, with annual birth counts often below ten and frequently at five or fewer since the turn of the century.
