Harold, a name of Germanic origin, is comprised of two elements: 'hær' meaning 'army' and 'weald' signifying 'power'. This moniker was popular among the Anglo-Saxons during the medieval period. It was brought to England by way of the Norman Conquest in 1066, where it has since remained a staple in British naming traditions.
"Harold is quite popular, with five births each in 1919, 1924, and 1930, resulting in a total of fifteen baby boys named Harold."
