Jared is a popular masculine first name (in the United States and other countries) of Biblical derivation, etymologically from the Hebrew language. Translated it means "descent", denoting both 'descendant' and 'to fall'. In the Hebrew it is written ירד / יֶרֶד / יָרֶד, pronounced yĕ\yā́-rĕḏ. When transliterated into the English language, variations include Jared / Jaryd / Jarod / Jered / Jerad (among other variations), being generally pronounced as dʒĕ-rĕd\rəd; according to classic Biblical pronunciation (denoted by syllabic stress accenting) it can be rendered dʒā\dʒē-rĕd. The name can be phonetically transcribed from Hebrew to English as Yared(h) / Yered(h) / Yored(h).
