Jerlean is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Jerlean 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 girl in 100,000 has been named Jerlean. That means that a girl named Jerlean is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her 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 Jerlean.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Jerlean. Girls named Jerlean have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,347 Jerlean ranked higher than ever in 1937. By comparison, there have been 97 years in which the first name Jerlean has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Jerlean only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jerlean was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Jerlean is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 147 Americans in total bear this name. And these 147 women are located in only four states: Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Jerlean and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Jerlean in relation to it’s female population is Mississippi. And yet even there, only one in 20,264 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Jerlean.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names.
