Jarett

Jarett is a masculine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Jarrett, which originated as an English surname derived from the Germanic personal name 'Gerard' meaning 'brave with the spear.'

In the United States, it gained modest popularity in the 1980s and 1990s but remains relatively uncommon, giving bearers a distinctive identity. The name conveys qualities of strength and individuality while maintaining familiar phonetics.

Pronounced JAR-et.
