Jareth is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jareth is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 boys have been named Jareth. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jareth is #2,103 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jareth.
In fact, the name Jareth hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Jareth wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1987, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,301, 50 parents chose it in 1987 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Jareth, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Jareth seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
