JER-zee

English place name

"Geirr's island"

Jersey Origin and Meaning

The name Jersey is a boy's name meaning "Geirr's island".

The New Jersey cities of Camden and Trenton are in, but the name of the state has not caught on to anywhere near the same extent, possibly due to its association with knitted pullovers and reality TV. Nevertheless, Jersey peaked as a masculine name in 2022, when it was given to around 60 boys.

The etymology of Jersey is not certain, but it may derive from the Norse name Geirr which means "spear", with the suffix -ey meaning "island". Alternative theories suggest it comes from jarl , meaning "earl" or hjǫr meaning "sword".

YouTube family and social media stars The Mighty McClures named their son Jersey in 2017, who joined old twin sisters Ava and Alexis.
