Jarett
Meaning of Jarett
Jarett, pronounced juh-RET (/dʒuˌrɛt/), represents an orthographic variant of the medieval English name Jarrett, which itself originates in the Norman French rendering of the Old High German personal name Gerard, etymologically signifying ‘spear strength’ or ‘spear ruler.’ Within the Anglo-American onomastic tradition, this masculine appellation has exhibited a trajectory of moderate popularity in the United States, ascending to its highest recorded occurrence in 1998—217 newborns, corresponding to a rank of 585—before entering a protracted phase of decline throughout the early twenty-first century and most recently registering 11 occurrences and a rank of 913 in 2024. The sustained usage of Jarett across multiple decades, notwithstanding periodic fluctuations, underscores its capacity to convey historical depth while conforming to contemporary naming preferences. As an infrequently selected yet linguistically resonant option, Jarett provides parents with a name that is rooted in Germanic etymology and adapted to modern Anglo-American phonological and orthographic conventions.
