What is the meaning of the name Jarith ?

Jarith is in Origin.

Jarith is a modern English given name, likely a creative variant of Jareth, a blended form drawing on Jared (Hebrew Yared, "descent; to descend") and Gareth (Welsh, often interpreted as "gentle" or "valiant"). Because it is a contemporary coinage rather than a traditional theophoric name, Jarith inherits meaning from these sources; it is variously read as evoking gentleness or the biblical sense of descent. Some also hear an echo of Jair/Jairus (Hebrew Yair, "he shines").

The name surfaces sporadically in English-language records from the late 20th century onward, its visibility plausibly nudged by the cult popularity of Jareth in the 1986 film Labyrinth. Usage remains rare and stylistically modern. Variants and related forms include Jareth, Jarreth, Jarit, Jarett, and Jared; diminutives or nicknames may be Jay or Jari. Feminine-adjacent counterparts sometimes cited are Yaira or Jaira, from the Jair/Yair line.
