Giralda— “spear power”
Gerhardine in German, and Giralda in Italian, are the feminines, besides our own Geraldine. Possibly Giralda may once have been the Valkyr name Geirhilda, which has survived in the North in the form of Jerilla, _jer_ being the northern corruption of _geir_. Jerlau is thus Geirlaug, and Jeruf, or Jerul, Geirolf.
