Jaretssi
About Jaretssi
Possibly a variant of the Spanish and Native American name, Yaretzi, which might be a variant of Yaritza, which is possibly a variant of Yara, with the suffix 'Itza' added, which could be inspired by the Itza people of Central America, or perhaps borrowed from the sounds of Maritza, which could be inspired by Maritsa River in Europe.
That is a lot of ifs and maybes, but if it is a variant of Yaritza, this could give it the appealing meaning of "friend of the enchanted waters", whereas if it's a variant of Yaretzi, it could mean "you will always be loved".
What is known for certain is that it was one of the highest rising names in the US in 2023, when it was given to 128 girls — compared to the 9 it had been given to in previous years.
Pronounced jah-RET-see.
As of October 2026, Jaretssi ranked #8070 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1628 in 2023.
