[Facts] Re: Satu, to continue ...
Hi Anneza,Probably it happened both ways: Gary and Garrett being forms of both Gerard/Gerhard and Gareth.The most common way to explain the origin of the names Gary and Garrett is via Frisian forms of Gerhard: East- and West Frisian forms of Gerhard are Gerrit, Gerriet, Garrit, Gerret etc. which easily turn into Gary / Garrett in English.... hope that helps? ;)
