About Geralt
Geralt is an antiquated version of the old-fashioned name Gerald, which has been dropping toward the bottom of the US Top 1000 since the early 1940s and finally dropped out in 2021.
Geralt is seeing fresh life, however, thanks to The Witcher series, first as books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, then video games, and now a Netflix series. Geralt of Rivia, the main character played by Henry Cavill, is a magical monster hunter. The name is pronounced with a hard G.
Pronounced GAIR-awlt.
As of October 2026, Geralt ranked #7846 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3800 in 2022.
