Jerad is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Jerad 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 Jerad. That means that a boy named Jerad 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 Jerad.
Is the name Jerad a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1983, when it ranked #507 with 243 newborn boys receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Jerad is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their son this unusual name. So, if your name is Jerad, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jerad was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Note: The official statistics only include names given at least 5 times in a year. So, if you know a Jerad born in 2022, that seems like a real fluke!
You may not know anyone named Jerad, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 29 states are home to men and boys named Jerad. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Jerad living in one state or another. If your name is Jerad and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Washington, which has the most people named Jerad relative to the population, you still have to ask 19,953 men and boys their names before you hear Jerad as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is the most popular first letter for boys’ names. 10.1% of all common boys’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in boys’ names is A.
With five letters, the name Jerad is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 10.1% of all boys’ names start with a J, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the boys’ names that begin with the letter J, the name James is the most common.
If your name is Jerad and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
