Jahred is a unique Hebrew name derived from Yared, meaning "to descend" or "to flow down," and mentioned in the Old Testament as one of Esau's sons. Introduced to English-speaking countries by Jewish immigrants, it gained popularity in the mid-20th century. Its spelling varies, including Jahred, Yared, Yarday, Yardhi, and Yahreed, due to differing translations from Hebrew to English.
