Jarrod

Meaning of Jarrod

Jarrod, pronounced JAIR-ud (/ˌdʒeɪrəd/), is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, most commonly regarded as an alternate spelling of Jared, derived from the Hebrew verb yārad, “to descend.” In its cultural resonance it evokes the steady unfolding of a Persian night-blooming rose—measured, deliberate, and quietly dignified. Statistically, Jarrod reached its zenith in the early 1980s, peaking at No. 223 in 1983, before gradually settling into the 800–900 range in recent years; its popularity curve resembles the arc of the sun across a Persian sky—predictable, if not headline-grabbing. This trajectory suggests that Jarrod offers parents a name with historical depth and subdued charm, more akin to an enduring caravan along the Silk Road than a fleeting comet lighting up the heavens.
