Géralde Origin and Meaning
The name Géralde is a boy's name of French origin.
Géralde is the masculine form of Géraldine, which derives from the Germanic name Gerald, composed of elements meaning "spear" and "rule" or "power." This French variant maintains the same powerful meaning while adapting the spelling to French orthography. Though less common than its feminine counterpart, Géralde carries an air of nobility and distinction. It has remained a relatively rare choice throughout French-speaking regions, appealing to parents seeking a traditional yet uncommon name with historical depth. The accent mark gives the name a sophisticated European flair, distinguishing it from the more widely used Gerald in English-speaking countries.
