About the name Jersey
Jersey is derived from the island name Jersey in the English Channel, the largest of the Channel Islands, a self-governing British Crown Dependency close to the coast of Normandy. The island’s name probably comes from the Old Norse personal name Geirr with ey, ‘island’. The American state of New Jersey was named after it, and the knitted garment called a jersey also takes its name from the island. As a given name it is used for both boys and girls.
