Gerrod is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Gerrod has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Gerrod. That means that a boy named Gerrod is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Gerrod.
