Jarrott is English in Origin.

Jarrott is a rare English given name taken from the surname Jarrott, a spelling variant of Jarrett. The surname goes back to the Norman personal names Gerard and Gerald, brought to England after 1066. From the Germanic elements ger 'spear' + hard 'brave, hardy', and sometimes blended with Gerald (ger 'spear' + wald 'rule'), Jarrott conveys meanings such as 'spear-brave' or 'ruler by the spear.' The initial J reflects Middle English and Anglo-French pronunciations of hard-G names.

As a forename, Jarrott surfaces mainly in the 20th-21st centuries in English-speaking countries, following the American habit of turning surnames into first names. It remains uncommon; a notable bearer in surname form is British film director Charles Jarrott. Variant spellings include Jarrett, Jarratt, Jarrot, and Jarret, with cognates Garrett and Garret; sound-alike relations include Jared and Jerrod. Possible nicknames are Jar, Jarry, or Jett, though many use the full form.
