Jarret

Where Jarret comes from

Jarret hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1946
    First appearance
    #3,525 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1982
    Jarret Stoll born
    Canadian ice hockey player
  3. 1989
    Jarret Eaton born
    American hurdler
  4. 1990
    Peak, #881
    136 babies named Jarret — more than any year before or since.
  5. 2003
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,962.
