Gerlach
Gerlach is a male forename of Germanic origin, variations of which exist in many Germanic and Romance languages. Like many other early Germanic names, it is dithematic, consisting of two meaningful constituents put together. In this case, those constituents are ''ger'' (meaning 'spear') and ''/la:k /'' (meaning 'motion'). The meaning of the name is thus 'spear thrower'. It became a surname, and a source from which other surnames have been derived, as well.

History In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1326. The village was established by german gold miners, hence the two crossed hammers in the village's coat-of-arms, however, it isn't exactly known when it was established, probably around 1200.
