Every time baby Gerrold shows their strength or acts as a force for good, you’ll be reminded of just how well their name fits them. As a respelling of Gerald, Gerrold has German origins and stands amongst other variants of the name, such as Gerold, Jerald, and Geraldo. Gerrold translates to “power of the spear” or “mighty spear man,” deriving from the Old German elements ger, meaning “spear,” and walt, meaning “power” or “might.” As they grow up, little Gerrold can create their own definition of power, whether it’s the things they do or their unique approach to life.
