I'm not sure what you mean by "significance" in this case.

Jethro is one of the names given to Moses' father-in-law, and he's said to be a priest (the word could be translated as prince, though priest makes more sense) of Midian. (Moses' father-in-law is sometimes called Reuel or Hobab. It's not absolutely clear whether he had several names (such as Abram/Abraham or Jacob/Israel), or whether some of these are actually titles rather than names.)

He appears to have at one time been an idolator who converted to worship of YHVH.
