More unique variation of Jorrit: LANGUAGE FAMILY: INDO-EUROPEAN > GERMANIC > WEST GERMANIC > GERMAN ORIGIN: GERMANIC NAME ROOT: *GAIZAZ *HARDUZ / *HARDU- > GERHARD MEANING: This name derives from the Old High German name “Gerhard”, composed of two elements “*gaizaz” (spear, pike, javelin) plus “*harduz / *hardu-” (hard, strong, brave, valiant, powerful). The name means “strong with the spear, strong and brave spear-wearer”. The surname Ge(e)rdes is a patronymic form, "son of Ger(har)d", that originated in Friesland around 1800. The name Gerald, while phonetically similar to Gerard, derives from a slightly different set of constituents: “*gaizaz” and “*waldaʐ” meaning “ruler, might, mighty one, power, powerful one”.
