The history of the first name Jaredd

The name Jaredd is derived from the Hebrew name Jared, which is believed to have originated from the Hebrew verb "yarad," meaning "to descend" or "to go down." This name can be traced back to the biblical figure Jared, who was the father of Enoch and lived several generations after Adam and Eve, according to the Book of Genesis.

The name Jared is mentioned in the Bible, specifically in Genesis 5:15-20, where it states, "Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begat Enoch." This reference to Jared in the Hebrew Scriptures is the earliest recorded use of the name.

During the Renaissance period, the name gained some popularity in England, likely due to the influence of the King James Bible. One notable individual with this name was Jaredd Wotton (1566-1639), an English diplomat and writer who served as an ambassador to various European courts.
