Jeryqua is in Origin.

Jeryqua is a modern American given name, likely coined within African-American naming traditions that blend familiar bases with rhythmic suffixes. It appears to join the nickname Jeri/Jery, seen in English as a short form of Jeremy or Jerry, to the -qua/-iqua ending influenced by French -ique names (Monique, Dominique), a pattern that produced coinages like Shaniqua. Usage is rare and distinctive, with sporadic appearance from the late 20th century onward rather than sustained chart presence.

Because it is a recent invention, Jeryqua has no single established meaning; families often assign a personal one. If the Jeri- element is read as stemming from Jeremiah/Jeremy, it can carry the Hebrew sense “Yahweh will exalt/appoint.” If linked to Jerry/Gerald, it may echo the Germanic “spear rule.” Spelling variants include Jeriqua, Jery'qua, and Jeri'qua; related forms by pattern include Jerica, Jerrica, and Shaniqua.
