Garibaldo is in Origin.

Garibaldo is a Romance-shaped form of the Old High German name Garibald, from gar/ger “spear” + bald “bold, brave,” yielding the sense “spear-bold” or “bold with the spear.” It traveled into Italy and the Iberian world through Lombard and other Germanic presences, where the final -o became standard in given names.

Attested in early medieval records, the name is borne by figures such as Garibald I, 6th-century Duke of Bavaria and father of the Lombard queen Theodelinda, and appears in Latinized documents as Garibaldus. In Italian it later survived mainly in literary and regional use, while its patronymic surname Garibaldi became famous through Giuseppe Garibaldi, indirectly keeping the root visible. Variants include Garibald (German), Garibaldo (Italian/Spanish), Garivaldo (Portuguese), and rare medieval spellings like Gheribaldo; related forms are Gerbald and the short form Baldo.
