Jerad

Where Jerad comes from

Jerad hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

    #3,966 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #981.
