Garred

Garred is a boy’s name of Anglo-Saxon and Norman origins, meaning “Spear-brave” or “Rules by the spear.” Thought to have arrived in England after the Norman conquest of 1066, Garred was a common last name derived from the first names Gerard and Gerald. This historic name was first recorded in the Latin forms Geraldus and Geraldi in the Domesday Book of 1086, a medieval census ordered by William the Conqueror. Garred and its close relatives Gerard and Garrett have been proudly carried as last names in England and Ireland ever since. With a bold and courageous name, baby Garred will rule your heart as they learn and grow.
