Garold Origin and Meaning

The name Garold is a boy's name of Russian origin.

Garold is a masculine name that emerged as a variant of Gerald, which comes from Germanic elements meaning "spear" and "rule" or "power." This alternative spelling gained modest popularity in the United States during the early to mid-20th century but has since become quite uncommon. Garold shares phonetic similarities with Harold while maintaining its own distinct character. The name conveys a sense of vintage masculinity and strength, fitting well with the revival of some traditional male names. While never achieving widespread usage, Garold represents a slightly unconventional choice that still feels familiar and accessible, potentially appealing to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but less common current usage.
