I have a friend who bears the surname Garrett. I have searched for the meaning through many different sources and only once have I been told that it means "to watch". All my other sources have refered to it as "Brave Spear" or "Bold Spear".

This is my son's name. Its origin in the family is Dutch. One of the original settlers of New Amsterdam is our ancestor. His name was Gerrit.

The name Garrett is an awesome name and even though I'm only 14 now I'll probably name one of my kids Garrett! That is if I have a boy.

Actor Garrett Hedlund. Played in movies such as Troy, Four Brothers, Eragon and a little in Georgia Rules. That's all I know so far. I'm surprised no one has mentioned him yet.

There is a boy in my class named Garrett and we pronounce it like it's spelled.

I really like the name Garrett. It's not one you hear a lot, so when you do hear it, you don't say, "Oh, another Garrett." Or maybe it's just me.

I prefer this name to Gareth, as this doesn't have the ''th'' ending. Just don't call the guy Gary. I can't stand Gary, but Garrett is okay.

My name is Garrett. Thank you, by the way, Autumn. That was a very nice comment. I am very satisfied with what my name means. I love my name. I even know somebody whose middle name is Garrett, and he goes by his middle name because he likes Garrett more than his first name. I think Garrett is a little more popular than we think, though. I have known five other kids named Garrett, just at my school. Any way, I love my name and I am actually glad that it isn't very popular. I like being unique, and even just four other Garretts kind of makes my name feel a little less special. (Of course, I am the only "good" Garrett, if you catch my drift).

I'm sure the above-posting Garretts are nice, but the one I knew was an unmitigated rear end. That I don't completely hate the name because of him says something, I suppose. It's better than Gary.
