What is the meaning of the name Jarrel ?

The baby name Jarrel is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒærəl/ (JAR-əl).

Jarrel is English in Origin.

Jarrel is a modern English given name derived from the surname Jarrell/Jerrell. The surname in turn traces to the personal names Gerald/Jerold (from Old High German ger 'spear' + wald 'rule, power'), and is also influenced by Darrell, a Norman toponymic from d'Airelle 'of Airelle.' Because of these streams, Jarrel typically carries the meaning 'spear-ruler,' with a secondary association to the Darrell line.

As a first name, Jarrel appears in U.S. records from the late 19th century and gained some visibility in the mid-to-late 20th century amid the fashion for surname-style and J-initial names; it remains rare today. Variant spellings include Jarrell, Jarell, Jerrell, Jerrel, Jarel, Jarelle, and Jarrelle; related forms are Gerald, Jerald, Darrell, and Jerryl. Short forms include Jay, Jerry, and Rel.
