Garrett is a
surname and
given name of Germanic and of Old French origins. It is one of the many baptismal surnames to have been derived from the popular given names of Gerardus, Gerard and Gerald in 12th-century England. Both of these names were taken to Britain by the invading
Normans and are the Old French versions of ancient
Germanic personal names. The name Gerard (or Germanic:
Gerhard ) is composed of the Germanic elements gēr or gār (meaning 'spear') and hard ('brave', 'hard' or 'strong'), while Gerald is composed of again gēr or gār ('spear') and wald ('to rule').
