Harutun is an Armenian name of ancient origin, derived from the Armenian name Harutyun, which is composed of two elements: 'har' meaning 'army', and 'utiun' meaning 'light'. This suggests that the name may have once held a meaning along the lines of 'army of light', though its etymology and interpretation can vary. It is considered to be quite rare outside of Armenia, contributing to its unique charm.
