Jeryll is English in Origin.
Jeryll is a modern English given name, most often read as a creative spelling of Jerrell/Jeryl. These in turn arise either as blends of Jerry and Darrell or as vernacular variants of Gerald/Jerald. Through that Gerald line, Jeryll inherits the Germanic elements ger "spear" and wald "rule," yielding the sense "spear-ruler" or "one who rules by the spear." Some also associate it with Jeremy (from Jeremiah), but that link is secondary.
Usage clusters in the United States from the mid-20th century onward, when phonetic and doubled-letter spellings flourished; it appears across genders but leans masculine. Variant forms include Jeryl, Jerryl, Jerrell, Jerel, Jarell, and Jerald; related names are Gerald and Darrell. Common short forms are Jerry and, for women, Jeri. The name's flexible spelling lends it a contemporary feel while preserving the traditional martial meaning tied to Gerald.
