Meaning of Gerold

Gerold, pronounced ge-ROHLD, is a warm, steadfast name that springs from ancient Germanic roots, merging “ger” (spear) and “wald” (ruler) into a title fit for a young leader. Picture a little champion carrying a spear of purpose, yet backed by genuine kindness—this name summons images of medieval knights and modern-day visionaries alike.
