Baby Name Roulette - Gerald
The Gerald name meaning originates from Teutonic German meaning "spear ruler". Long out of favour, Gerald experienced something of a resurgence through the 19th Century, far more popular in Ireland than in England. In North America, Gerald was a relatively popular name choice to bestow upon a boy throughout the 20th Century, but has declined somewhat in popularity as a name choice of expectant parents since that time making the name Gerald somewhat unique these days.
