Meaning & History

From Gaisericus, the Latin form of the Vandalic name *Gaisarīx, derived from the Germanic elements *gaizaz "spear" and *rīks "ruler, king". This was the name of a 5th-century king of the Vandals, a Germanic tribe. He led his people through Hispania and established a kingdom in North Africa.
