Jareth

Jareth is best known as the name of the Goblin King played by David Bowie in Jim Henson’s film Labyrinth. That association gives it a strong fantasy and musical identity. The name resembles Jared and Gareth and is sometimes described as a blend, but a securely documented literal meaning is not established.

Its familiar ending makes Jareth sound close to older names even while the film remains its clearest cultural reference. Jarreth and Jereth are nearby spellings, though changing the letters does not remove the association for listeners who know the story. For a family drawn to Labyrinth or Bowie’s performance, the character connection may provide the meaningful reason behind the choice.
