I've had the name Jareth for nearly 22 years now and I still do not know how to feel about it. On one hand my name can be confusing if there is a Jared near by or can be misunderstood as that name. However, I feel like it brings a certain uniqueness and mystery. A name not only rare and different but also one of the greatest singers (who also happens to be in a fantastic classic movie) of the 1980's and 1990's. The name definitely makes me feel special and perhaps even important. Besides, my whole name fits quite nicely. I could not imagine myself being called anything else!

When my son was little he watched The Labyrinth and said, when I have a little boy I’m going to name him Jareth. His oldest son, now 10 is named Jareth. I love that he never forgot and named him that.

Instead of only being a blend of the names Jared and Gareth (Seth is also a possibility, by the way), Jareth could also simply be a more creative spelling of Jared (and thus a variant spelling, one could say).

Jarlath is the Irish name you are probably thinking of; this is from babynamesofireland.com:
"St. Jarlath (born c. 550 AD) was noted for his piety and his ability as a teacher. In old age he decided to found a monastery where he could end his days. He asked one of his pupils, St. Breandan the Navigator, to drive his chariot east and when the chariot broke a wheel at Tuam in County Galway he took it as a sign that that was where he should end his journey, founding a church that became a great center of learning and art. The name is still popular in this part of Ireland."

A Celtic name meaning 'Strong warrior'?
This name is neither Celtic nor means anything of the sort; it is an atrocious blend of two names that are wonderful on their own in their undamaged form.

I named my son this because it is unusual, yet easy to spell - and very masculine. He is now eleven, and still loves the name - particularly since seeing 'Labyrinth' where David Bowie plays his namesake
