History & Origin

Jarrid is a spelling of Jared, from the Hebrew Yered, 'descent,' borne by a patriarch in Genesis. It rode the broad Jared wave and peaked around 1990, always a minority spelling.

A Jarrid from the peak is now in his mid-thirties. Jared reads as a Gen-X-and-millennial staple, and the Jarrid spelling as a period variant; the standard form is the one parents choose today.

Did you know? Jarrid is one of a whole cluster of Jared respellings — Jarrod, Jarred, Jarid — that multiplied as the biblical name became a hit in the 1980s and early 90s.
