Geralt Origin and Meaning

The name Geralt is a boy's name meaning "ruler with the spear".

Geralt is an antiquated version of the old-fashioned name Gerald, which has been dropping toward the bottom of the US Top 1000 since the early 1940s and finally dropped out in 2021.

Geralt is seeing fresh life, however, thanks to The Witcher series, first as books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, then video games, and now a Netflix series. Geralt of Rivia, the main character played by Henry Cavill, is a magical monster hunter. The name is pronounced with a hard G.
