Meaning & History

(male) 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.

Variants: Gerrard, Jerrard.
