Jeryquah is in Origin.

Jeryquah is a modern American given name, most commonly feminine, that arose within late-20th-century African American creative naming traditions. It blends familiar beginnings like Jeri- with the rhythmic -quah ending seen in names that favor strong consonant clusters and expressive cadence. The name remains rare, appearing sporadically in U.S. records and seldom, if ever, registering on national popularity charts, which lends it a distinctive, individual feel.

Its meaning is interpretive rather than fixed. Many read it as Jeri + -quah, with Jeri linked to Jerry - diminutive of Gerald/Geraldine (Germanic “spear, rule”) - or to Jeremy (from Hebrew Yirmeyahu, “Yahweh exalts”). Parents may therefore associate Jeryquah with strength, leadership, or divine uplift, though its appeal is often the sound itself. Variant spellings include Jeriqua, Jeriqua, Jeryqua, and Jariquah; possible nicknames are Jeri/Jerry, Riqua, or Qua.
