Meaning & Origins
Old French name of Germanic (Frankish) origin, introduced to Britain by the Normans. It is derived from gār, gēr ‘spear’ + hard ‘brave, hardy, strong’. In the later Middle Ages this was a more common name than Gerald, with which it was sometimes confused. Nowadays it is less common, surviving mainly among Roman Catholics, in honour of the many saints of this name.
