Garaidh

Garaidh is a Scottish Gaelic personal name, typically a male given name. It is Anglicized as Garrett, Gareth, or Garry. The origin of the name is somewhat debated, but it is often linked to Germanic roots, potentially meaning "spear strength" or related to words signifying "keeper" or "watchman."

The name Garaidh and its Anglicized forms have been used historically in Scotland and, through migration, in other English-speaking countries. While not as common as some other Gaelic names, it maintains a presence and cultural significance within Scottish Gaelic-speaking communities and those with Scottish heritage.

Variations in spelling and pronunciation can occur depending on the specific dialect of Gaelic and the region. The anglicized forms have developed their own distinct usage and etymological considerations separate from the Gaelic original.
