Closest thing I found was a French name, Goleret ...here's the translation of the French site:
Rare name carried to Savoy and in Isere. Obscure direction. It seems to have to be attached to gola (= mouth, gorges), but with which direction? Perhaps a toponym (small throat), perhaps also a flange (the mouth was also a collet of fur as former
French).
