With a name like Jerryl, baby will wield powerful influence throughout life. The masculine moniker is a variant of Jerrell and likely comes from Gerald or Gerard. Both deriving from Old German, the first syllable ger means “spear,” whereas the names differ in the second half. Ger combines with walt, translating to “power, authority,” in Gerald. In the moniker Gerard, hart is added to the prefix, meaning “hard” or “brave.” Jerrell is also an old Anglo-Saxon surname. Baby Jerryl will be brave and take risks as needed in life, and will possibly be the spearhead of a cause close to their heart. Anyone would be lucky to have a Jerryl in their lives, using whatever weapon they have to fight their loved ones’ battles.
