Globally, Gerhardus (Gerhardus 
, Герхард 
) is a common masculine forename. The forename Gerhardus is characteristic of South Africa, where it is quite a common boy's name, Netherlands, where it is a rare boy's name, and Austria. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in South Africa, Netherlands, and Indonesia. Very seldom, Gerhardus is the last name as well as the forename.
Gerhardus is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Gerhard , the fictional character from The Tin Drum by Günter Grass.
