Jarett is English in Origin.
Jarett is a modern respelling of Jarrett, ultimately linked to the medieval English surname Jarrett/Jarret. That surname arose from Norman French forms of the Germanic personal names Gerard and Gerald: ger "spear" + hard "brave, hardy," or ger "spear" + wald "rule." The blended lineage gives Jarett the senses "spear-brave" and "ruler with the spear," evoking martial courage and leadership.
As a given name, Jarett gained currency in the English-speaking world during the 20th-century boom in surname-style forenames, with usage most visible in North America. Spelling variants include Jarrett (most common), Jarret, Jaret, and Jerrett; related forms are Garrett/Garret, Gerrit (Dutch), Gerard, and Gerald. Though sometimes mistaken for Jared, Jarett has a different origin and meaning; Jared is the biblical Hebrew Yered, "descent." Contemporary nicknames such as Rett or Jare appear, but the name is typically used in full.
