Gester

Gester is a term that does not have a single, widely recognized definition in major reference works. It most often appears as a proper noun or as a misspelling of related words, depending on context.

As a surname, gester is found in some genealogical records, but it remains uncommon and there are no widely documented public figures who bear the name in mainstream sources. In toponymy, there are no well-established places named Gester listed in major gazetteers, so if it appears as a place name it is likely local or historical.

In published texts, gester can also be a misspelling or variant of similar terms such as gesture, depending on language and typographical conventions. Because no single definition is authoritative, the meaning of gester is best inferred from the surrounding context.

If you encounter gester in a particular work, consulting that work’s glossary, introduction, or surrounding text can clarify the intended sense. The term is distinct from but sometimes confused with related words like gesture or names that resemble it in spelling.
