Meaning & History

The first element of this name is derived from Gothic gairu (gêr in Old High German) "spear", or from garva (garo in Old High German, and gearu in Anglo-Saxon) "ready, prepared." The second element is derived from Gothic svinths (swind in Old High German) "strength." Gerswintha was the name of one of Charlemagne's concubines.
