Jerricoh is in Origin.

Jerricoh is a modern English respelling of Jericho, the renowned biblical city-name derived from Hebrew Yeriho/Yericho. Scholars debate its root: some link it to West Semitic Yarikh, “moon,” while others connect it to Hebrew re’ah, “fragrance” or “aroma.” Thus the name is commonly interpreted as “moon” or “fragrant place.” Jericho figures prominently in the Book of Joshua and elsewhere, and is poetically called the “city of palms,” adding layers of ancient and religious resonance to the given name.

As a personal name, Jericho appears sporadically in English records from the early modern period and has gained broader visibility since the late 20th century, aligning with trends for bold place-names. Jerricoh arises as a creative variant that preserves the sound while emphasizing the familiar Jerr- opening. Related forms include Jericho, Jerricho, Jeriko, Jerico (Spanish), Yerikho (Slavic transliteration), and Yeriho.
