Seath is Irish in Origin.

Seath is a rare English and Scottish given name and surname, most often treated as a spelling variant of Seth. Through Seth it derives from Hebrew Shet (שֵׁת), interpreted as “appointed” or “placed,” the name of Adam and Eve’s third son in Genesis. As a surname, Seath appears in northern English and Scottish records, likely developing from the medieval personal name Seth and later adopted as a forename in Britain and North America.

Usage as a given name has been sporadic since the 19th century, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a familiar biblical choice. Variant spellings and cognates include Seth, Seith, Sheth, and the Hebrew form Shet; related international forms are Set (Spanish, Catalan) and Sét (Hungarian transcription). Because of its closeness to Seth, Seath shares the same core meaning and understated, monosyllabic style while offering a rarer, surname-like profile.
