Jarreth Origin and Meaning

The name Jarreth is a boy's name.

Jarreth is a masculine name that appears to be a modern spelling variant of Jareth or Jared. The name Jared has Hebrew origins meaning 'descent' or 'he who descended,' and appears in the Bible as a patriarch before the flood. This particular spelling with the double 'r' and 'th' ending gives the name a fantasy-like quality, possibly influenced by the character Jareth the Goblin King from the 1986 film 'Labyrinth.' The variation adds a contemporary edge to the traditional name while maintaining its strong sound. Jarreth remains quite uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a masculine name with biblical connections but with a more distinctive, modern spelling that sets it apart from the more common Jared.
