Jeral, pronounced as /ˈdʒɛrəl/, is of Hebrew origin and translates to "commander" or "song". It is a gender-neutral given name that appears infrequently in various cultures worldwide. In the United States, Jeral is considered quite rare, with its peak popularity occurring in the late 1970s to mid-1980s. The name may be associated with the Hebrew name Jeremiah or the biblical figure Jeroboam, but it is not a direct derivation from either of these names. Instead, it is often used as an independent given name, offering parents a unique choice for their child's moniker.
"Jeral appears to have been a popular baby name for two distinct periods, with five babies named Jeral born each in 1946 and again in 1957."
