Geri - Name Meaning and Popularity -

Meaning of Geri

Geri buzzes into the room like a colorful mariposa at dawn, a lively nickname for baby girls sprouting from Geraldine’s Germanic roots (think “spear ruler”) and dressed in Latin fiesta flair. She rolls off the tongue as JER-ee (/ˈdʒɛri/), simple and sweet, yet sparkling with vintage charm. In Missouri’s baby charts from the late ’50s through the ’60s, she twirled between the 150th and 175th spots, peaking with 12 joyful Geris in 1963. She’s a carnival of warmth and humor, ready to salsa through life with a sunny grin and mischievous twinkle.
