Hebrew (ג'ארד) which actually means - "he who descended; one who shall rule".
In the Book of Enoch it is explained that Mahalaleel named Jared because during his lifetime the angels of the Lord descended to earth.
Jared is a proper name of Biblical derivation that is a common name, mostly in North American English-speaking countries.
In the Bible, Jared was the sixth link in the ten pre-flood generations between Adam and Noah; he was the son of Mahalaleel and the father of Enoch, and lived 962 years.
Two people named Jared are mentioned in the Book of Mormon: Jared (founder of Jaredites) and Jared (Book of Mormon king).
