Garibald (name)


Garibald is a Germanic masculine given name. Garibald was a popular name among the Lombards and Bavarii in the Early Middle Ages, but it is also existed as a personal name among the Anglo-Saxons, attested in Searle's Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum. Its Lombardic forms are Garipald and Gairipald; in modern Italian it is Garibaldo or Garivaldo, and gives rise to the patronymic Garibaldi, and the adjective garibaldino. Its roots are Proto-Germanic "gairaz", or "gaizaz" and Proto-Germanic "balthaz". Today the name is used mainly in Italy, to form an ideological connection with the Risorgimento led by Giuseppe Garibaldi.
