Spear brave or ruler of the spear
Jerret is a variant of the Germanic name Garrett, which itself derives from the elements 'ger' meaning spear and 'hard' meaning brave or hardy. It is also occasionally linked to the name Gerald, which combines spear with 'wald' meaning rule. As a rare spelling, it offers a modern, phonetic twist on a sturdy medieval classic.
