      The name Geraldene traces its roots back to Old English and holds significance in its meaning: Rules with Spear. This powerful moniker characterizes a strong and assertive individual who exemplifies a commanding presence and resilience. Throughout history, the name Geraldene has been used to denote strength and authority, serving as an emblem of influence and leadership.

      Originating in England, Geraldene became a popular feminine given name in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was often bestowed upon girls born into aristocratic and noble families, aligning with the societal norms of the time that celebrated strong and influential women. However, in modern-day usage, the name Geraldene has become less common.
