Garrott

Garrott is a masculine name with medieval origins, primarily functioning as a variant spelling of Garrett or Gareth. Derived from Germanic elements, it likely stems from 'gar' meaning 'spear,' suggesting strength and protection. The name has aristocratic connections in Norman history, where it appeared as a surname before evolving into a given name. The distinctive double-t spelling gives it a more formal, traditional quality compared to other variants. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Garrott maintains a steady presence as a distinguished, uncommon choice. It carries connotations of chivalry and nobility, partly due to its associations with Arthurian legend through the character of Gareth, one of the Knights of the Round Table.

Pronounced GAR-ut.
