Where is Gareth from?

Meaning of the name Gareth

Meaning uncertain. It first appears in this form in Thomas Malory's 15th- century compilation of Arthurian legends Le Morte d'Arthur , in which Gareth was a Knight of the Round Table, the brother of Sir Gawain. Malory based the name on Gahariet , which was the name of a similar Arthurian character in French sources. It may ultimately have a Welsh origin, possibly related to gwaredd meaning "gentleness".
