About Gerard
Gerard is currently in style limbo, after reaching peak popularity in the 1950s. With its strong meaning and gentle sound, it may be back in a generation or two. But for now, a boy called Gerard will likely be the only one in his class...unless you live in Catalonia, where it was recently in the Top 10.
Gerard is also given to girls.
Pronounced juh-RAHRD.
As of October 2026, Gerard ranked #10289 in US births in 1987 SSA, peaked at #3386 in 1913.
