Jherico

Origin:Arabic
Other Origin(s):Hebrew
Meaning:City of the moon; Fragrant
Jherico is a distinctive variant of Jericho, perfect for the child destined to stand out from the crowd. Wrestling fans may recognize it from Chris Jericho, but Jherico's history goes far beyond the Lionheart and his neverending nicknames. In Arabic, Jherico translates to "city of the moon," while in Hebrew, it means "fragrant" and is rooted in the ancient city of Jericho. Located near the Jordan River and the Dead Sea, this biblical city is famously known as the first place the Israelites conquered as they entered Canaan's promised land under Joshua's leadership. If baby Jhericho has a Joshua-like figure in the family to look up to, Jherico becomes much more meaningful in building that special connection from the earliest days.
