Garret Name Meaning, Origin and Popularity

2 Min Read

Garret is a boy’s name that comes from both Germanic and Old French roots. Many baptismal names that appeared after the Norman Conquest were Garrett or Gerard, and it is thought that these names were borrowed from Gerardus, Gerard, and Gerald in 12th century England. As a result, the meaning of the name Garret became “to rule with a spear” or “strong spear.” When this name is used as both a given name and a last name, it can help a baby develop a sharp mind and a striking personality.
