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).

Good luck,
Dave
