"Jersey" meaning in English

See Jersey in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈd͡ʒɜːzi/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈd͡ʒɝzi/ [General-American]
Rhymes: -ɜː(ɹ)zi Etymology: From Middle English Gersey, from Anglo-Norman Gersui, further etymology disputed. Probably from Old Norse [Term?], compound of Geirs (“Geirr's”) + ey (“island”). Also occasionally and historically connected to Latin Caesarea, a common name given to locations conquered by the Romans in honor of Caesar (compare French Césarée). The latter theory still bestows the Latin translation of the island.
