Origine et histoire

Derived from the Old High German personal name Gerhard, composed of 'ger' (spear) and 'hard' (brave, strong), meaning 'brave with the spear' or 'bold spearman'. The name was brought to France by Germanic Franks; the French form Girard is particularly prevalent in the Rhone-Alpes region and Occitania.
