Herald, a name of ancient pedigree, is derived from the Old German word 'heri', meaning 'army'. It was initially used as a surname for those who served as heralds, officers responsible for announcing royalty and important guests at official events. Over time, Herald has evolved into a given name, carrying with it the echoes of its past, suggesting authority, dignity, and grandeur.
