Meaning & History

German form of the ancient Germanic given name Ger(e)man, which is composed of the Germanic elements ger meaning "spear" and man meaning "man".

In medieval times, the Germanic element man was also used as a diminutive suffix. As such, this name can also be a medieval German diminutive of masculine given names that contain the Germanic element ger meaning "spear", such as Gerfried and Gerhard.

A notable bearer of this name was the German clergyman and theologian Germann August Ellrod (1709-1760).
