Jared

Jared is a proper name of Biblical derivation that is a common first name, mostly in North American English-speaking countries. In the Book of Genesis, the biblical patriarch Jared (יָרֶד) was the sixth link in the ten pre-flood generations between Adam and Noah; he was the son of Mahalaleel and the father of Enoch, and lived 962 years (per Genesis 5:18). The biblical text in Jubilees implicitly etymologizes the name as derived from the root YRD "descend", because in his days "the angels of the Lord descended to earth". Alternative suggestions for the name's etymology include words for "rose" and for "servant".Yared (505–571) was an Ethiopian bishop who introduced the concept of sacred music to Ethiopian Orthodox services. He is regarded as a saint of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church with a feast day of 11 Genbot (May 19). 2People 3Arts, entertainment, and media Jared Anderson (heavy metal musician) (1974–2006), American musician Jared Bernstein, American economist Jared Carter (born 1939), American poet Jared Daperis (born 1990), Australian actor Jared Evan (born 1989), American musician Jared Bradley Flagg (1820–1899), American painter Jared Fogle (born 1977), former American spokesman for Subway Jared Followill (born 1986), American musician Jared French (1905–1988), American painter Jared Gold (born 1972), American fashion designer Jared Harris (born 1961), English actor Jared Hasselhoff (born 1971), American musician Jared Hedges (born 1980), American writer Jared Hess (born 1979), American filmmaker Jared Keeso (born 1984), Canadian actor Jared Kushner (born 1981), American businessman Jared Lane (born 1972), New Zealand artist Jared Lee (born 1943), Canadian artist Jared Leto (born 1971), American actor and musician Jared Martin (born 1940), American actor Jared Mitchell (writer) (born 1955), Canadian journalist Jared Murillo (dancer) (born 1988), American dancer Jared Nathan (1985–2006), American actor Jared Padalecki (born 1982), American actor Jared Rushton (born 1974), American musician and actor Jared Slingerland (born 1984), Canadian musician Jared Taylor (born 1951), American journalist Jared Turner (born 1978), New Zealand-born Australian actor 3Government and politics Jared Benson (1821–1894), American politician Jared Brossett (born 1982), American politician Jared Brush (1814–1895), American politician Jared Huffman (born 1964), American politician Jared Ingersol Chipman (1788–1832), Nova Scotian lawyer and politician Jared Ingersoll (1749–1822), American politician Jared Irwin (1750–1818), American politician, Governor of Georgia Jared Irwin (Pennsylvania) (1768–1818), American politician Jared Peck (1816–1891), American politician Jared Perkins (1793–1854), American politician Jared Polis (born 1975), American politician Jared Young Sanders, Jr. (1892–1960), American politician Jared Young Sanders, S
