Gerity is a masculine name that appears to be a variant or modern adaptation of the Irish surname Gerrity or Garrity, which derives from the Gaelic "O Gearaigh" meaning "descendant of Gearach" (a personal name possibly meaning "spear-like" or "sharp"). As with many surnames that have transitioned to first names, Gerity carries the heritage and sound of its Irish roots while functioning as a distinctive given name. The transition from surname to first name is part of a broader trend in contemporary naming practices, particularly in the United States. Though uncommon as a first name, Gerity offers an option for parents seeking a name with Celtic overtones and an established historical foundation. Its unusual status as a first name gives it uniqueness while its surname origins provide it with substance and cultural connection.
