Jarod by the numbers

Jarod was given to 30 American babies in 2017, the most recent full year we hold.

Its American peak was 1,045 babies in 1998, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.

What we can tell you about Jarod

Not every name has a meaning to trace. Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
