Geraldine means "spear ruler" or "brave warrior", and is of Old German and French origin.
Rather like (Roberta) it is a feminization of the Masculine name Gerald, like President Gerald Ford. a Rather famous Geraldine was Geraldine Farrar, the Opera star and also silent movie actress ( Joan, the Woman) (Loves of Carmen) In reference to the Opera star fans would sometimes slang-like pronounce her name(Jahl-deen!) almost with an assumed UK-Boston twang. It almost sounded like Jardine (rhymes with sardine) which is a surname (last Name) so it goes. Geraldine was also a transvestite character performed by the late Flip Wilson.
