The story behind the name

Jerry is a gender-neutral baby name of British origin. Derived from the names Gerald, Jeremy, and Jerome, Jerry is a first name and nickname meaning “spear.” Spears are sharp weapons used for protection and battle.

From myths to the battleground, baby Jerry will be a force to be reckoned with.
