Meaning: bravery
Garrett is a boy's name of both German and Irish origin. It came about from two first names, Gerard and Gerald, which were created during the Dark Ages. Those were economic hard times, so to foster a sense of well-being, names that seemed powerful were popular. Garrett is an Irish version of Gerard, which has the components gari, meaning "spear" and “hard,” implying bravery. Parents of future sports stars apparently liked the name a lot: Garrett Richards plays for the Los Angeles Angels, and Garrett Hartley most recently played for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
