Jerika is a title reserved for the one and only true ruler of your heart. This impressive appellation comes from the Old Norse Eiríkr (Erik) and carries the lofty meanings “the one and only” and “ever powerful.” Beloved throughout Scandinavian languages, Erik’s existence was solidified in Anglo-Saxon England by such settlers before the Norman Conquest of the 11th century. Jerika is an American creation, adding “j” to Erika to create a timeless name with a dash of contemporary style.
