Jared

ref

From Latin Iared, from Ancient Greek Ἰαρέδ(Iaréd), from Biblical Hebrew יֶרֶד‎ (yéred). Often explained as deriving from the root י־ר־ד‎ (y-r-d), which forms words relating to descending; some interpret the Book of Enoch as suggesting that the Jared in the Bible was so named because it was in his time that two hundred angels descended from Heaven to Mount Hermon. Alternatively, sometimes explained as deriving from the root ר־ד־ה‎ (r-d-), which forms words relating to ruling.
