Jerry Origin and Meaning

The name Jerry is a girl's name meaning "ruler with the spear or sacred name".

The J spelling of this nickname name has always skewed more masculine, perhaps because it relates directly to Jerome but not to Geraldine. But supermodel Jerry Hall, whose full name is Jerry and who has a twin sister named Terry, pulls it off in glamorous style.
