Geder is Hebrew in Origin.
Geder is a rare Hebrew name deriving from the biblical noun geder, “wall” or “fence,” from the Semitic root g-d-r “to enclose, wall in.” In the Hebrew Bible it appears as a place-name - “the king of Geder” among the cities subdued by Joshua (Joshua 12:13) - and is etymologically linked to related toponyms such as Gedor, Gederah, and Gederoth; the modern Israeli town Gedera preserves the same root and sense of a walled or enclosed place.
As a given name, Geder has seen only sporadic use, mostly in Jewish and Christian communities that draw on uncommon Old Testament names; contemporary usage remains very rare and sometimes unisex. Variants and near-variants include Gador/Gader (transliterational), Gedor, and the feminine forms Gederah/Gedera. The core meaning evokes boundary, protection, or a sheepfold, giving the name a quiet solidity and pastoral undertone.
