GERVAS. Old
German name meaning "war-courageous," from ger
"spear, sword; war," and vas/was "courageous." Also in use by the English.
In Latin, Gervasius.
There are more
names derived from the spear than from the sword. One of the most
common of all roots is Ang.-Sax. gâr, Old Norse geir, Old Sax. and
Old Fries. gêr. Förstemann thinks that ger,
avidus, and garo, paratus, may mix up with this root. The Old
Frankish forms char and car, of har, army, are also
often difficult to separate...
... (Was, vas, courageous) Old German Gervas—Eng. Jervis—French
Gervais. (The Teutonic
Name-system &c., Ferguson, 1864).
