Jaret Origin and Meaning

The name Jaret is a boy's name.

Jaret is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, typically considered a variation of Jarrett or Jared. The name Jared appears in the Bible as a descendant of Adam, and means 'descent' or 'one who descended.' Some interpretations also suggest it could mean 'rose' or be connected to the Hebrew word for 'ruling' or 'commanding.' Jaret offers a more contemporary spelling of the traditional name. While not among the most common boys' names, it saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1990s and early 2000s. The name has a strong, concise sound with modern appeal, while maintaining connections to its biblical heritage. Its compact form and straightforward pronunciation give it a practical, no-nonsense quality.
