Gerroldine Origin and Meaning

The name Gerroldine is a girl's name.

Gerroldine is a feminine name that appears to be an elaboration of Geraldine, which itself is the feminine form of Gerald. The name has Germanic origins, derived from elements meaning 'spear' and 'rule' or 'power.' The unusual spelling with double 'r' gives it a distinctive quality while maintaining connections to the more common Geraldine. Gerroldine carries an air of vintage charm and formality, reminiscent of names popular in the early to mid-20th century. It remains exceptionally rare in contemporary usage, making it stand out while still being recognizable. The name has a stately, dignified quality while the '-ine' suffix adds a gentle, feminine touch to its strong Germanic roots.
