Jarred is Hebrew in Origin.
Jarred is an English given name, a modern respelling of Jared, which comes from Hebrew Yared (Yered), meaning "descent" or "to descend." In the Bible, Jared is a pre-Flood patriarch and father of Enoch, a connection that brought the name into English use after the Reformation and kept it in occasional circulation. Jarred, with its doubled r, gained favor in the United States in the late twentieth century, offering a slightly sturdier look while keeping the same sound.
Variants and related forms include Jared (standard), Jered (biblical variant), Jarrod, Jarod, Jarrad, Jaret/Jarett, and Jarrett; Yared is the Ethiopian form, linked to Saint Yared. Creative offshoots such as Jareth also appear. Usage of Jarred peaked in the 1980s-1990s and has since declined, making it a recognizable yet less common choice today. Note that it coincides with the English past tense "jarred".
