Ruler with a spear or combination of Jeri and Erica
Jerica is a modern American blend, most likely created by combining the prefix of Jeri (a diminutive of Geraldine or Jeremy) with the suffix of Erica. It carries the etymological weight of its components, suggesting 'ruler' or 'spear power'. It gained modest popularity in the 1980s but remains a rare choice today.
