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 . </P> <Ul> <Li> Gareth Abraham (born 1969), Welsh former footballer </Li> <Li> Gareth Bale (born 1989), Welsh footballer, currently with Real Madrid </Li> <Li> Gareth Barry (born 1981), English footballer, currently with West Bromwich Albion </Li> <Li> Gareth Brooks (born 1979), New Zealand field hockey player </Li> <Li> Gareth Chilcott (born 1956), English retired rugby union player </Li> <Li> Gareth Cooper (born 1979), Welsh retired rugby union player </Li> <Li> Gareth David (stage name Gareth Campesinos), lead singer of the English - Welsh indie pop band Los Campesinos! </Li> <Li> Gareth David - Lloyd (born 1981), Welsh actor </Li> <Li> Gareth Davies (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Dean (born 1981), Welsh rugby league player </Li> <Li> Gareth Edwards (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Ellis (born 1981), English rugby league player </Li> <Li> Gareth Emery (born 1980), British trance - genre producer and DJ </Li> <Li> Gareth Evans (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Frodsham (born 1989), English rugby league player </Li> <Li> Gareth Gates (born 1984), English singer - songwriter </Li> <Li> Gareth Griffiths (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Higgins, writer from Northern Ireland </Li> <Li> Gareth Hopkins (born 1976), New Zealand cricketer </Li> <Li> Gareth Hopkins (footballer) (born 1980), English footballer </Li> <Li> Gareth Hughes (1894 - 1965), Welsh actor </Li> <Li> Gareth Hughes (politician) (born 1981), New Zealand politician </Li> <Li> Gareth Hunt, stage name of English actor Alan Leonard Hunt (1942 - 2007) </Li> <Li> Gareth Johnson (born 1969), British politician </Li> <Li> Gareth Johnson (hurler), Irish hurler </Li> <Li> Gareth Jones (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Koch (born 1962), Australian classical guitarist </Li> <Li> Gareth Krause (born 1981), South African rugby union player </Li> <Li> Gareth Llewellyn (born 1969), Welsh rugby union player </Li> <Li> Gareth Malone (born 1975), British choirmaster and broadcaster </Li> <Li> Gareth Maule (born 1987), Welsh rugby union player </Li> <Li> Gareth McAuley (born 1979), Northern Irish footballer, currently with West Bromwich Albion </Li> <Li> Gareth McGrillen (born 1982), Australian bass guitar player, record producer and DJ </Li> <Li> Gareth McLean (born c. 1975), Scottish journalist </Li> <Li> Gareth Morgan (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Naven (born 1969), Australian football manager </Li> <Li> Gareth Owen (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Peirce (born 1940), female English lawyer </Li> <Li> Gareth Philips, British television producer </Li> <Li> Gareth Pierce, Welsh actor </Li> <Li> Gareth Price (born 1980), Welsh rugby league player </Li> <Li> Gareth Price (rugby league) (1917 - 1992), Welsh rugby league player and coach </Li> <Li> Gareth Rees (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Roberts (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Russell (author), British author </Li> <Li> Gareth Russell (musician), bass guitarist for Idlewild </Li> <Li> Gareth Southgate (born 1970), English footballer </Li> <Li> Gareth Snell (born 1986), English Member of Parliament </Li> <Li> Gareth Steenson (born 1984), rugby union player from Northern Ireland </Li> <Li> Gareth Thomas (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Unwin (born 1972), British film producer </Li> <Li> Gareth Ward, Australian politician </Li> <Li> Gareth Williams (disambiguation) </Li> <Li> Gareth Wood (born 1995), British acrobatic gymnast </Li> </Ul>
