We have 4 girls and 1 boy & found out this baby is a Boy as well. we decided on the name
Jarrett Stephen,
Now when We first came across the name it had the same meaning as our other son Jordan & thought that it would be really neat to have found a name we loved and also have the same meaning seeing they well be the only 2 boys ( having 4 sisters) it would be really special. Well I looked in another baby book at the book store yesterday and it had a completly different meaning.
Can anyone help me find what
Jarrett Means??
Thanks in advance for your help

I went on to babynamer.com and it said that
...Pam
Usage: English
Pronounced: GER-et
From a surname derived from the name GERALD or GERARD. A famous bearer of the surname was Pat Garrett, the sheriff who shot Billy the Kid.
Looking up Gerald, I get:
GERALD m
Usage: English
Pronounced: JER-awld
From a Germanic name meaning "rule of the spear", from the element ger "spear" combined with wald "rule". This name was brought to Britain by the Normans.
Then looking up Gerard, I get:
GERARD m
Usage: English, Dutch
Pronounced: je-RAHRD
Derived from the Germanic element ger "spear" combined with hard "brave, hardy". The
Normans introduced this name to Britain.
So I'd say Jarrett means "brave or hardy"
