Jerey is English in Origin.

Jerey is a contemporary English respelling of Jerry, itself a pet form traditionally attached to several given names. Most commonly it shortens Jeremy or Jeremiah (from Hebrew Yirmeyahu, often interpreted as "Yahweh will raise/exalt/appoint"), but it can also echo Jerome (Greek Hieronymos, "sacred name") and Gerald or Jerald (Germanic elements meaning "spear-rule"). Usage of Jerey is rare; it surfaces in late-20th- and early-21st-century records as an individualized, phonetic twist on familiar classics, typically masculine yet occasionally used unisex.

Bearers often treat Jerey as an everyday nickname with a formal longer name on documents, mirroring mid-century Jerry and the 1970s-80s popularity of Jeremy. Close variants include Jerry, Jere, Jeri, Jerrey, and Jarry; related formal options are Jeremy, Jeremie, Jeremiah, Jeramy or Jeromy, Jerome, Gerald, and Jerald. Meaning follows the chosen root, most often the Hebrew "Yahweh will exalt."
