Hearold is an uncommon yet distinctively traditional male given name of Germanic origin. It is composed of two elements, 'Her', meaning army or warrior, and 'wulf', which signifies wolf. Thus, the name Hearold translates to 'army-wolf' or 'warrior-wolf'. This name, while not as widely used today, was once quite popular in England during the Middle Ages. It is a strong and powerful-sounding name that carries a historical and cultural resonance.
"Over a span of 28 years, from 1927 to 1955, the name Harold saw its peak popularity with 8 births recorded in 1928. However, it was most consistently chosen over this period during the years 1940 to 1941 and again in 1947 and 1955, each of which had 5 births."
