A Shetland surname. See under Gair.
The origin assigned in English Surn. i. 133, is hardly tenable. There is an estate so called in the parish of St. Earth, co. Cornwall.
There is an estate named Gear in the parish of St. Earth, which Polwhele thinks may have had its name from caer, castrum; and he says Gear Bridge below was originally Caer Bridge. Geare in Cornish signifies "green or flourishing." There are places called Tregear and Tregeare; and Tregare is mentioned by Hals under Gerans. Hence the names Gayer, Geer, Geere, and Gare.
Gear signifies all sorts of wearing apparel and equipments for horses and men, from the Saxon gearrian, to make ready; and the name was probably given to one who took charge of and superintended the gear. John of the Gear, John O' Gear, and at length John Gear.
From Gare, or Gere, Normandy. William Gere and Robert de Gera mentioned there 1198 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae); Robert Gere of England c. 1272 (Rotuli Hundredorum).
