Geller

Geller ( ) is a surname. Depending on one's ancestors' origins, the name may derive from a place name (Geldern in Germany or Gelderland in the Netherlands) or the German word gellen ('to yell'; Middle High German geln, gëllen) meaning 'one who yells'; less probably from the Yiddish word gel ('yellow') meaning the 'yellow man', or the Yiddish word geler, an expression for a redheaded man. It may also be a Russianized respelling of Heller or a variant of the Hungarian first name Gellért.
