A rugged Welsh name, reminiscent of Griffin, Gerard, and Gideon, Gethin is a familiar choice in the UK when it ranks in the Top 1000. Notable bearers include Game of Thrones actor Gethin Anthony, rugby player Gethin Jenkins, and TV presenter, Gethin Jones. 
 
Jones' presented the long-running children's show Blue Peter between 2005 and 2008, and this coincided with a sharp rise in use of the name in England and Wales. Given to 43 boys in 2004, by 2007 — when Jones also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing — it was at its peak, in the Top 300, and given to nearly 160 babies.
 
Said with a hard G sound at the beginning, the name has never even made the popularity stats in the US.
