History & Origin

Geriann belonged to the smush-name fashion of its day. It appeared in United States records from the early nineteen-fifties and touched its modest high near nineteen-sixty-three.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and its run closed by the mid-eighties. A girl named Geriann at that peak would be in her early sixties today. The name carries its two roots plainly rather than hiding them.

Did you know? Mid-century American parents loved welding two short names into one; Geriann fuses a Geraldine nickname with Ann, the same recipe that gave us Maryann and Ruthann in the same years.
