What is the meaning of the name Jarreth ?

The baby name Jarreth is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JAR-eth (IPA: /ˈdʒærəθ/).

Jarreth is English in Origin.

Jarreth is a modern English given name, most likely an elaborated spelling of Jarrett and influenced by the fantasy name Jareth. Jarrett arose as an English surname from the medieval personal names Gerard or Gerald, built from Germanic elements ger "spear" + hard "brave, hardy" (or wald "rule"). The -reth ending echoes Jareth - a name popularized by the 1986 film Labyrinth - whose form evokes Jared or Gareth.

Usage is rare and largely confined to late 20th-21st century records in English-speaking countries, where creative -ett/-eth spellings gained favor. Variant forms include Jarrett, Jarett, Jareth, and Jared; related names are Garrett and Gerard. Meanings are read through its roots: either "brave with the spear"/"spear ruler" via Gerard/Gerald, or "descent; he descends" if taken as a Jared-leaning blend. Jarreth thus carries a tailored, contemporary sound with subtle medieval and biblical undertones.
