Meaning & History

English and Welsh (very common in southern England and South Wales): patronymic from the medieval English personal name Harry, pet form of Henry.

Greek: reduced form of the Greek personal name Kharalambos, composed of the elements khara ‘joy’ + lambein ‘to shine’.

Jewish: Americanized form of any of various like-sounding Jewish names.
