Jarrat is English in Origin.

Jarrat is a modern respelling of Jarrett/Jarret, an English surname-turned-given name derived from the medieval personal names Gerard and Gerald. Its roots lie in the Germanic elements ger "spear" plus hard "brave, hardy" or wald "rule," yielding meanings such as "brave with the spear" or "spear-ruler." Pronounced JAR-it, Jarrat shares the same sound and etymology as Jarrett and the surname Jarratt.

Documented as a surname in England from the Middle Ages, the Jarrett/Jarratt forms later migrated to North America and the Antipodes, where the surname occasionally became a given name. Given-name use rose in the late 20th century amid the fashion for surname names; the Jarrat spelling remains uncommon and modern in feel.
