Jerricah is English in Origin.

Jerricah (pronounced JERR-ih-kah) is a modern English feminine name, a variant spelling of Jerrica/Jerica. It likely blends the diminutive Jeri (from names such as Geraldine, Jeremy, or Jerome) with the fashionable -ica ending, and is also influenced by Erica. Because of these roots, the name’s meaning is interpreted variously as “ever-ruler” (via Eric/Erica from Old Norse Eiríkr), “spear ruler” (via Gerald), or, by association with Erika in German, “heather.”

The form emerged in the United States in the later 20th century and rose most noticeably in the mid‑to‑late 1980s, boosted by the animated series Jem, whose heroine is Jerrica Benton. Usage has since declined, leaving Jerricah an uncommon, contemporary choice. Variant forms include Jerrica, Jerica, Jerika, Jericka, Jericah, and Jeryka; related nicknames are Jeri, Jerri, Rica, and Ricki. The spelling with final -ah adds a softer, more elaborate look while preserving the same pronunciation.
