Jered

Jered is a given name, typically masculine. Its origins are generally considered to be Hebrew, stemming from the name "Jerad" or "Yered" found in the Hebrew Bible. In the Book of Genesis, Jerad is described as a descendant of Seth and the father of Enoch. The name is sometimes associated with the Hebrew word "yarad," meaning "to descend."

The usage of Jered as a personal name appears in various cultures, though it is not as common as some other biblical names. Variations of the name exist in different languages and historical periods. Its pronunciation can also vary depending on regional dialect. While not widely prevalent, Jered has been adopted by families seeking a name with biblical roots and a less common profile. Information on its specific etymological evolution and spread is less extensively documented than for more widely used names. It remains a name with a distinct historical and religious lineage.
