Garred is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Norwegian origin. It's derived from the Old Norse elements 'garðr' meaning 'enclosure, garden', and 'haugr' which means 'mound'. This name may have been used by Vikings as a personal name, though it is not among the most commonly known today. In recent years, it has seen sporadic use in English-speaking countries, perhaps due to its unique sound and Scandinavian roots.
The name Garred had a notable period of popularity with seven births each in 1983 and 1989, followed by some fluctuations but remaining consistently among the births throughout the given years up to 2002, with a total of 38 babies bearing this name during this period.
