Garit is a unique and distinctive male given name of Germanic origin, derived from the Old High German word 'gari', which means 'spear'. This name was popular among the Goths, an East Germanic tribe, during the early Middle Ages. In some variations, Garit may also be associated with the Old French name 'Garin', which is believed to have been brought to France by the Normans. The name Garit has not been widely used in many cultures, making it a rare and noteworthy choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child.
"Garit experienced peak popularity with 7 births in 2002, but has remained steady with 6 births each in 1998 and 2005, totaling 19 babies named Garit over these three years."
