Meaning, origin, history
Herald, an uncommon yet distinguished given name of Germanic origin, translates to 'bear'. It was initially used as a surname, deriving from the Old German word 'heri', meaning 'army' or 'warrior'. The name gained prominence in medieval times due to its association with heraldry, the system by which coats of arms and badges are displayed. Today, it is still more frequently encountered as a surname than a first name.
