Jerrad

Meaning of Jerrad

Jerrad, a masculine given name pronounced /ˈdʒər-æd/ in English, is principally regarded as an orthographic variant that synthesizes elements of the Hebrew Jared (from Yared, “to descend”) and the Old Germanic Gerard (from ger “spear” + hard “brave”), thereby conveying both ancient biblical resonance and martial connotations within Anglo-American naming practices. Its documented usage in California newborn registries between 1975 and 1995 reveals a pattern of modest stability: after registering nine instances and ranking 271st in 1975, the name oscillated within the 280th to 370th range—occasionally peaking at twelve occurrences in 1992—before settling at ten instances and a 361st position by 1995; such longitudinal data underscore Jerrad’s character as a relatively uncommon choice that nevertheless maintained a sustained, if niche, appeal among parents seeking a name that bridges scriptural tradition and Germanic etymology.
