Jarette is English, Germanic in Origin.
Jarette is a modern English given name, most likely a creative respelling of Jarrett or Jaret. Jarrett/Jaret descend from the medieval English surname Jarrett, itself related to Garrett, the vernacular of Gerard/Gerhard (Germanic ger “spear” + hard “brave, strong”). On this line, Jarette carries the sense “spear-brave” or “strong with the spear.” In North America it is also read as an elaboration of Jared (Hebrew Yered), adding a French-flavored -ette ending; that pathway links it to the meaning “descent.”
As a first name, Jarette is rare and gained currency in the late twentieth century alongside surname-first fashion and inventive spellings. Documented and plausible variants include Jarrett, Jaret, Jarett, Jarret, Jerrett, and Jarratt; related cognates are Garrett, Gerard, and Jared. The name remains uncommon but accessible, with a clean contemporary sound and potential nicknames such as Jare or Rett.
