Garibald (disambiguation)

__NOTOC__Garibald (also Gariwald, Garioald, Gerbald, Gerwald, Charoald) is a Germanic masculine given name. It is the root of the names Gerald, Gerold, and their variants in other languages. Garibald was a popular name among the Lombards and Bavarii in the Early Middle Ages. Its Lombardic forms are "Garipald" and "Gairipald"; in modern Italian it is "Garibaldo" or "Garibaldi" (feminine "Garibaldina"), and gives rise to the patronymic Garibaldi. Its roots are "gaira"/"ger" (lance, spear) and "baltha"/"bald" (bold). Today the name is used mainly in Italy, to form an ideological connection with the Risorgimento led by Giuseppe Garibaldi.
