Garith Origin and Meaning

The name Garith is a boy's name.

Garith is a masculine name with likely Germanic or Celtic origins, possibly a variant of Gareth or derived from elements meaning "spear-strength" or "gentle." The name has medieval overtones, evoking imagery of Arthurian legend through its phonetic similarity to Gareth, one of the Knights of the Round Table. The spelling with "i" instead of "e" gives it a distinctive quality while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. Garith combines strength and softness in its sound, with the hard initial consonant balanced by the gentle ending. Though uncommon in contemporary usage, the name appeals to parents seeking a masculine name with historical resonance that remains relatively unique.
