Gerhart

Gerhart is a boy's name forged with all the stealth of steel and the bravery of a large and giving heart. Derived from the Old High German Gerhard, Gerhart, a variant of Gerard and Gerald, finds its meanings in ger ("spear") and hart ("hard/brave"). Gerhart Hauptmann was a German playwright, novelist, and poet who received the Novel Prize for Literature in 1912, where he was praised for his naturalistic dramas. To win this prestigious award is a recognition of the might and power that such a moniker as Gerhart can wield.
