Garrot Origin and Meaning

The name Garrot is a boy's name.

Garrot is a masculine name with French origins, likely derived from the Germanic name Gerard or Gerhard, composed of elements meaning 'spear' and 'brave' or 'hardy.' It may also be related to the French surname Garrot or Garreau. Some connect it to occupational terms for those who made or used a 'garrot' (a tool or weapon). The name has remained quite uncommon in English-speaking countries, maintaining an air of distinction and old-world charm. With its strong consonants and concise pronunciation, Garrot conveys masculine strength while avoiding overuse. It might appeal to parents seeking a name with historical roots that remains relatively undiscovered. The simplified spelling compared to the more common Garrett or Gareth gives it a unique character while maintaining familiar sounds.
