Gerty is a charming German name. As a variant of Gertrude, it’s understood as “strong spear.” Give your little one this name if you’d like to encourage a sharp mind and wit in baby.

As one of the few female awardees, her journey can inspire baby to be strong and resilient no matter what the world throws at them.
