Geralt
Meaning of Geralt
Geralt is a masculine name of Germanic origin, composed of the elements ger (“spear”) and wald (“rule”), and it entered popular consciousness largely through Andrzej Sapkowski’s Polish fantasy saga and its screen adaptations. In its native form—pronounced GEH-rahlt (/ˈɡɛralt/)—the name retains a crisp consonant blend and a clear, two-syllable cadence. In the United States, Geralt remains rare but remarkably consistent: seventeen newborns bore the name in both 2023 and 2024 (ranked 912th and 907th, respectively), with minor year-to-year fluctuations since 2020. Its steady usage reflects a niche appeal among parents drawn to historical depth and a touch of modern fantasy distinction, rather than mainstream trendiness.
