Meaning and history
Jarred is an English spelling variant of Jared. Jared comes from the Hebrew biblical name Yered, generally connected with a root meaning “descent” or “to descend.” In Genesis, Jared is a descendant of Seth and the father of Enoch, giving the name an early biblical genealogy. The doubled-r spelling is modern and does not alter the etymology. Notable bearers include Australian rugby league player Jarred Croker and American professional baseball player Jarred Kelenic.
Jarred moved from #683 to #850 for boys between 2002 and 2003. Its highest annual birth count came in 1989, with 607 births.
