Gary:
Common names like John, Paul, Michael, Peter, Joseph..etc., etc., do translate into Spanish. However, names like Gary, Terry, Ian, Brian, Brendan, and many more...do not.

Edgar?


Explanation:
De plano, no estoy segura, pero he escuchado el apodo "Gary" por Edgar, aunque se me hace que el apodo fue muy "sacado de la manga".

(Gerardo)


Explanation:
Although it's true that Gary by itself, when it's not short for any other name, doesn't have an equivalent in Spanish, "Gary" can also be a nickname for "Gerald", in which case this is the Spanish for it.

As the asker probably already knows, Gary (by itself) is from Old English and means "spear carrier". In Spanish, that's "el que lleva las lanzas".
