Position:Home>Arts & Humanities> PLEASE HELP?Question: PLEASE HELP?WHERE DID THE SURNAME GERE ORIGINATE? I KNOW SOME PEOPLE FROM HUNGARY THAT CAME OVER HERE WITH THAT NAME. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You could try asking this on the Gere genealogy message board at: http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.gere... Also from ancestry.com: gere 1. Americanized form of German Gehr. 2. English: perhaps a variant of Geary 3. 3. Hungarian: from a reduced form of the personal name Gergely, Latin Gregorius (see Gregory).
