Modern invented name, likely a blend of Jacob and Keira
Jakerra is a contemporary American coinage. It most likely functions as a creative elaboration of the name Jakira or a blend of the masculine 'Jake' (from Jacob, meaning 'supplanter') and the feminine suffix '-erra' or the name Keira. It follows the late 20th-century trend of rhythmic, multi-syllabic invented names within African American naming traditions.
