Jarrad Origin and Meaning
The name Jarrad is a boy's name.
Jarrad is a masculine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Jared, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'descent' or 'he who descended.' This alternative spelling became particularly popular in Australia and parts of the English-speaking world during the 1970s and 1980s. Jarrad offers a slightly more contemporary feel than the traditional Jared while maintaining the same phonetic pronunciation. The name carries associations with strength and individuality due to its modified spelling. While less common than Jared, Jarrad has maintained steady usage, particularly in Australia where it found its strongest following. The name projects a modern, slightly rugged quality while retaining biblical connections.
