Who were you named after?

My name is Garett, I was named after Pat Garrett, the Sheriff who shot and killed Billy the Kid. At first, I was told this was an honorable thing, however after doing some research, it seems that Pat Garrett was kind of a coward, and shot Billy the Kid from the shadows.  
 
So what is your name and how did your parents decide it?

I'm named after a Jew...which is ironic cause I'm Arab.  :|
