What is the meaning of the name Geri-Anne ?

The baby name Geri-Anne is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒɛr.i.æn/ (JEH-ree-ANN).

Geri-Anne is English in Origin.

Geri-Anne fuses Geri, a mid-century diminutive of Geraldine (ultimately from the Germanic Gerald: ger 'spear' + wald 'rule'), with Anne, the English and French form of Anna derived from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace' or 'favor.' The compound balances brisk, modern Geri with timeless Anne, yielding an evocative blended meaning such as 'graceful spear-rule' or 'gracious ruler with the spear.'

Hyphenated pairings with Anne flourished in Anglophone countries in the 1950s-70s, and Geri itself peaked in that era, making Geri-Anne feel retro yet bright. Usage remains rare, more often seen in North America. Variant spellings include Geri-Ann, Geri Ann, Geri Anne, Jeri-Anne/Jerri-Ann, and Gerry-Anne; an expanded form is Geraldine-Anne. Everyday nicknames range from Geri and Annie to the compact GA, while the name’s components keep it familiar across languages.
