Jarrell is English in Origin.
Jarrell is an English-language given name that developed in the United States, drawn from the surname Jarrell and shaped by the trend for -rell endings. The surname itself is a variant related to Gerald/Jerald (from Germanic ger “spear” + wald “rule”), and folk-formation from Darrell and Jared has also reinforced the sound. On this basis, the most widely cited meaning is “spear ruler.” The name is typically pronounced juh-RELL.
Used as a transferred surname from the early 20th century, Jarrell gained modest given‑name currency in the mid to late 1900s, particularly in the U.S. South and within African American naming patterns that favored rhythmic -rell forms. It has never been highly common, but it remains familiar. Variant spellings and relatives include Jarell, Jarel, Jerrell, Jerel, and Jarrel; longer forms such as Jarelle appear occasionally. Diminutives and short forms include Jay, Rel, and Jerry.
