Garth is a boy's baby name of Old Norse origin, from the Old Norse garðr, meaning 'enclosure' or 'garden' — a walled or fenced area, often a yard or small estate. In Welsh, Garth also refers to a promontory or ridge.
With over 9,600 recorded births, Garth is a name with strong cultural presence — most notably Garth Brooks, one of the best-selling music artists of all time and a country music icon, and Wayne's sidekick Garth in the beloved comedy Wayne's World. The name carries an outdoorsy, unpretentious American character, grounded in the Norse sense of a cultivated homestead.
