It can be traced back to the 16th and 17th centuries in areas that are now modern-day Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. The name is derived from the Slavic word "jaryi," meaning "fiery" or "ardent," and is believed to have originally been a descriptive nickname for someone with a passionate or feisty personality.

In the 17th century, the name appears in various church records and census documents from the Kyiv Governorate, which was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time and included territory that is now part of modern-day Ukraine. These records often show variations in spelling, such as "Iarosh," "Yarosh," and "Iarosch."

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the name Jarosh became more widespread throughout the Russian Empire and the territories that would later become independent nations like Ukraine and Belarus.
