Garritt Origin and Meaning

The name Garritt is a boy's name.

Garritt is a masculine name representing a variant spelling of Garrett or Gareth. Garrett derives from Germanic origins meaning 'spear strength' or 'brave with the spear,' while Gareth has Welsh roots, associated with Arthurian legend as one of the Knights of the Round Table. This particular spelling emerged as parents sought to create distinctive versions of the traditional name while maintaining its pronunciation. While the standard Garrett saw peak popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1990s, the Garritt variant remains relatively uncommon. The name conveys strength and historical depth with its medieval connections, appealing to parents who appreciate names with warrior connotations and traditional masculine qualities.
