Meanings

A male given name, form of Gerald, Gerard, Jeremiah, and Jerome. A female given name, form of Geraldine.

Jerry is a given name, usually used for males. It is of Old English origin, and sometimes can be spelled Gerry, Gerrie, Geri, Jery, Jere, Jerrie, or Jeri. It is a diminutive form (hypocorism) of Gerald, Gerard, Geraldine, Jeremy, Jeremiah, Jermaine, or Jerome.

World War I British Army slang for "a German; the Germans," 1919, probably an alteration of German based on the male nickname Jerry, popular form of Jeremy. But it also is said to be from the shape of the German helmet, which was thought to resemble a jerry, British slang for "chamber pot, toilet" (1850), this being probably an abbreviation of jeroboam, which is attested in this sense from 1827. Compare jerry-hat "round felt hat" (1841).

Form of Jeremy: god has uplifted. Form of Gerald: rule of the spear.
