Jarid is Hebrew in Origin.
Jarid is a modern English respelling of Jared, ultimately from the Hebrew Yered/Yared, built on the root y-r-d "to descend," hence "descent" or "he descends." In the Hebrew Bible, Jared appears among the antediluvian patriarchs in Genesis as the father of Enoch, which anchored the name in Judeo-Christian tradition. It entered regular English use after the Reformation when Old Testament names were favored, and it rose sharply in the United States in the late 20th century, a wave that encouraged alternate spellings such as Jarid.
Variants and related forms include Jared, Jarred, Jarrod, Jarod, Jaret, Jered; Yared is the Ethiopian/Ge'ez equivalent. Diminutives are uncommon but may include Jay or Red. Jarid is pronounced like Jared (JAIR-id) and remains the rarer form in most English-speaking countries. Sometimes confused with the Arabic word jarid ("palm frond"), this look-alike is not an etymological source for the given name.
