Garrett is in Origin.
A sturdy English and Irish given name, Garrett traces to the medieval surname Garrett, itself from Norman French forms of the Germanic Gerard and Gerald. These combine ger “spear” with either hard “brave, hardy” (Gerard) or wald “rule, power” (Gerald), yielding meanings such as “spear‑brave” or “spear‑ruler.” The name appears in Middle English records after the Norman Conquest and persists both as a forename and a family name.
In Ireland, Garrett also serves as an Anglicization of Gearóid, long associated with the powerful FitzGerald dynasty. It migrated to North America as a transferred surname and rose steadily in late 20th‑century U.S. usage. Common spellings include Garrett, Garret, Garett, and Garet; related or cognate forms are Gerard, Gerald, Gérard (French), Gerhard (German), Gearóid (Irish), and Geraldo (Portuguese/Spanish). Nicknames and short forms include Gar and Rhett, the latter popular in modern American usage.
