what does the name gareth mean in english
Gareth (given name) Gareth [ˈɡarɛθ] is a Welsh masculine given name of uncertain meaning.[1] It first appeared in this form in Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, in which it belonged to Sir Gareth, a brother of Gawain and one of the Knights of the Round Table. Malory based it on Gahariet, a name found in French Arthurian texts; it may have a Welsh origin, perhaps connected with the name Geraint,[2] or the word gwaredd, meaning "gentleness".[2][3] It is particularly popular in Wales, and Gary is sometimes taken as a pet form of it.[1]
