Gerrard Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
= Gerard, q.v.
Contracted from Geirrau∂r. The first element in this name is geirr, ‘spear'. The ending rau∂r in proper names has been supposed by Professor Bugge to have been derived by several successive corruptions from frid, 'peace'.
GeirÖ∂r occurs twice in the Flateyjarbóc. Garret may also be from Geirvaldr, which corresponds exactly to Gerald, or, in some cases, it might come from the Celtic MacArt: cf. Ballymacarret, 'MacArt’s town'.
Several Gerrards were Governors of the Isle of Man. 'Garret, Earl of Desmond, ' a.d. 1369.
It is spelt in the registers with G, C, and K, indifferently, but the former predominates.
The Gerrards were an ancient and titled Cheshire family. The Lords Gerard of Gerards Bromley from the 16th to the 18th century were descended from the Gerards of Ince in Lancashire; the Gerards of Kingsley and Crewood came from Hawarden in Flintshire in the time of Edward I. (O.).
Gerrard or Gerard is a very old Lancashire name. The Gerards of Bryn were lords of the manor of Brindle from the 14th to the 16th century: this distinguished family stands amongst the foremost of the Lancashire families, both in early and in more recent times, and received a baronetcy from James I.: the Gerards of Gerard Hall, Aughton, in the 16th and 17th centuries, were probably a branch of the Gerards of Bryn (B.). Miles Gerrarde of this county contributed £25 to the Spanish Armada Fund in 1588 (Sp.). Sir George Gerard represented Preston in Parliament in 1628 (H.) The Cheshire Gerrards are referred to tinder that county. In the 13th century, Gerard was a name much more widely distributed than it is at present (H. R.).
