Garth (name)
A garth is an enclosed quadrangle or yard, especially one surrounded by a cloister (Middle English; Old Norse ''garþr, garðr''; akin to Anglo-Saxon ''geard''). This led to the word being given as a last name to people who worked in or near a garden. Later it came to be used as a first name. It is also possible that the name Garth comes from Gareth ˆÉ¡arɛθ a Welsh masculine given name of uncertain meaning. It first appeared in this form in Thomas Malory's '' Le Morte d'Arthur'', in which it belonged to Sir Gareth, a brother of Gawain and one of the Knights of the Round Table. Malory based it on Gahariet, a name found in French Arthurian texts; it may have a Welsh origin, perhaps connected with the name Geraint, or the word ''gwaredd'', meaning "gentleness". It is particularly popular in Wales, and Gary is sometimes taken as a pet form of it.

John MacDonald Of Garth
John MacDonald of Garth (1771 – 25 January 1866) was a colourful character involved in the Canadian fur trade. He was an enthusiastic duellist and a shrewd businessman who became a partner in the North West Company and a member of the Beaver Club at Montreal, Lower Canada. In an account of his exploits, he was described as having "indomitable courage... brave, reckless and domineering, with a decided tendency to seek redress with his own hands," characteristics that made him well-suited to his profession. Built in 1816, his home, Inverarden House, near Cornwall, Upper Canada, was later designated a National Historic Site of Canada.

In 1998, inmates put out a contract on a police dog called Scooby because of its track record in locating illegal drugs at the jail, requiring home security measures and, once, armed police. In January 2004, one of Garth's prison chaplains resigned over allegations that she had an affair with a prisoner who worked as a cleaner in the prison chapel. In September 2006 a prison officer from Garth was jailed after it emerged that she had smuggled pills and a mobile phone to an inmate she was having an affair with at the prison.

Garth (architecture)
In architecture, a quadrangle (or colloquially, a quad) is a space or a courtyard, usually rectangular (square or oblong) in plan, the sides of which are entirely or mainly occupied by parts of a large building (or several smaller buildings). The word is probably most closely associated with college or university campus architecture, but quadrangles are also found in other buildings such as palaces. Most quadrangles are open-air, though a few have been roofed over (often with glass), to provide additional space for social meeting areas or coffee shops for students. The word ''quadrangle'' was originally synonymous with ''quadrilateral'', but this usage is now relatively uncommon. Some modern quadrangles resemble cloister gardens of medieval monasteries, called ''garths'', which were usually square or rectangular, enclosed by covered arcades or cloisters. However, it is clear from the oldest examples (such as Mob Quad) which are plain and unadorned with arcades, that the medie ...

Sir John Edwards, 1st Baronet (15 January 1770 – 15 April 1850), was a Whig politician who served as Member of Parliament for Montgomery from 8 April 1833 to 23 June 1841. The Edwards Baronetcy, of Garth in the County of Montgomery, was created for him in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 23 July 1838. Since he had no male heirs, the estate passed to his daughter Mary Cornelia Edwards (c.1829-1906) and the title became extinct on his death. On 3 August 1846 Mary Cornelia Edwards married George Vane-Tempest, Viscount Seaham, later to become Earl Vane and the 5th Marquess of Londonderry. After her father's death, they used Plas Machynlleth as their family seat. Sir John Edwards' father was John Edwards (d.1789), a solicitor of Plas Machynlleth (also known as 'Greenfields'), Montgomeryshire. The senior Edwards acquired the Garth estate by his marriage to his third wife, Cornelia Owen, only child and heiress of Richard Owen and his wife. The estate included the profita ...
