Jerrilyn

Songful-sounding and charming as can be, Jerrilyn will make a pretty name for your new arrival. Likely a variant of Jerilyn, this name is commonly used as a girl’s name. Touted as having American origins, it’s a combination of the monikers Jeri—a diminutive form of the Hebrew Jeremiah, meaning “exalted by God” or “appointed by God”—and the suffix -lyn—which itself comes from the Welsh Llyn, meaning “lake” or “pool.” Combined together, Jerrilyn means “rules with spear” and “pretty,” an interesting set of definitions for your bundle of joy to lean into. Perhaps baby Jerrilyn will bear natural leadership qualities with a sense of style to match! Whoever they become and whatever characteristics they encompass, baby will have your unending love and support.
