Geary Name Meaning and History
Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic ó Gadhra ‘descendant of Gadhra’ (see O’Gara). See also McGeary.
English: from a personal name derived from Germanic ger, gar ‘spear’, a short form of any of various compound names with this as a first element (see, for example Garrett).
English: nickname for a wayward or capricious person, from Middle English ge(a)ry ‘fickle’, ‘changeable’, ‘passionate’ (a derivative of gere ‘fit of passion’, apparently a Scandinavian borrowing).
Possibly an altered spelling of German Gehring or Gehrig.
