Jared

The name Jared originates from the Hebrew word יֶרֶד (Yereḏ), which means 'descent' or 'to descend.' It is linguistically tied to the idea of movement downward, which could symbolize humility, a connection to the earth, or a divine descent. The name has been preserved through various translations, including Greek (Ἰάρεδ, Iáred) and Arabic (يَارَد, Yarid), retaining its core meaning across cultures and languages. Historically, Jared has been interpreted as representing a lineage deeply rooted in divine purpose, as he is part of the genealogy that connects Adam to Noah and eventually to Jesus Christ in the New Testament genealogies.
