Jariath is in Origin.

Jariath is a modern given name with blended roots. It most plausibly fuses the Irish Jarlath (from Old Irish Iarlaith/Iarlaithe, traditionally glossed “lordly; noble prince”) with the contemporary English name Jareth, itself a late-20th-century coinage often seen as a blend of Jared and Gareth and popularized by the 1986 film Labyrinth. Through the Jarlath connection, the name carries associations with Saint Jarlath of Tuam, a 6th-century Irish founder and teacher, giving Jariath a subtle link to early Christian scholarship and Irish heritage.

As an independent spelling, Jariath is very rare and has no long historical record; its use has emerged in recent decades in Anglophone countries. Variant spellings and relatives include Jarieth, Jaryth, Jareth, Jarlath, and the Gaelic Iarlaith; related names Jared and Gareth echo its components. The meaning most often attached to Jariath draws from Iarlaith: “noble,” “lordly,” or “princely.”
