Jared De Kock
Jared is a given name of Biblical derivation. Origin In the Book of Genesis, the biblical patriarch Jared (יֶרֶד) was the sixth 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 (Genesis 5:18). The biblical text in the Book of Jubilees implicitly etymologizes the name as derived from the root YRD "descend", because in his days "the angels of the Lord ''descended'' to earth". Alternative suggestions for the name's etymology include words for "rose", "servant" and "one who rules".Hess, Richard S., ''Studies in the personal names of Genesis 1-11'' (1993), p. 69. Yared (505–571), a namesake, was an Ethiopian monk who introduced the concept of sacred music to Ethiopian Orthodox services. He is regarded as a saint of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church with a feast day of 11 Genbot (May 19). In the English language, Jared is both a common Jewish and Christian-Protestant first name.
