Rodno mesto Bejba Ruta u Baltimoru, Merilend, koje je sad muzej.

Džodž Herman Rut ml. je rođen 1895. godine u 216 Emori strit u Pigtaunu u Baltimoru, Merilend. Rutovi roditelji, Katarina (devojački Šamberger) i Džordž Herman Rut stariji, bili su nemačkog porekla. Prema popisu stanovništva iz 1880. godine, njegovi roditelji rođeni su u Merilendu. Roditelji njegovog oca bili su iz Pruske i Hanovera. Rut stariji je imao niz poslova, među kojima su bili prodavac gromobrana i vozač tramvaja. Zatim je postao prodavac u porodičnom biznisu sačinjenom od kombinacije prodavnice prehrambenih proizvoda i salona u ulici Frederik. Džordž Rut mlađi je rođen u kući njegovog dede po majci, Pajusa Šambergera, nemačkog imigranta i sindikaliste. Samo jedno dete od njegovih sedmoro braće i sestara, njegova mlađa sestra Mejmi, preživelo je rano detinjstvo.

Mnogi detalji o Rutovom detinjstvu su nepoznati, uključujući datum venčanja njegovih roditelja. Kao dete, Rut je govorio nemački. Kad je Rut bio tek prohodao, porodica se preselila na adresu 339 Saut Vudjer strit, nedaleko od železničkih dvorišta; u vreme kada je imao šest godina, njegov otac je imao salon sa stanom na gornjem spratu na adresi 426 Vest Kamden strit.
