Jerrod Origin and Meaning

The name Jerrod is a boy's name.

Jerrod is a masculine name with Germanic origins, derived as a variant of Jared or Gerald. The name Jared comes from Hebrew, meaning 'descent' or 'he who descended,' while Gerald combines Germanic elements meaning 'spear' and 'rule.' Jerrod gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, offering a slightly modernized alternative to traditional forms. The double 'r' spelling gives it a distinctive appearance while maintaining familiar pronunciation. Though never among the most common names, Jerrod has maintained steady recognition, partly through public figures like actor Jerrod Carmichael. The name projects a strong, straightforward quality while being neither too common nor too unusual in contemporary settings.
