A boys’ name of Sanskrit origin, meaning lion; variant of Harih, a name for Vishnu.
Hari by the numbers
In 2025, 54 babies in England and Wales were named Hari. In the US, 31 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 35 babies in 2004, making it a 2000s name.
