Harihar is a first name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the words 'Hari' meaning 'Hindu god Vishnu' and 'Har' meaning 'remover'. It signifies one who removes obstacles or difficulties. This name holds significant cultural and spiritual importance in Hinduism and is often bestowed upon children with the hope that they too may be instrumental in removing obstacles from life's path, much like Lord Vishnu who is believed to protect his devotees from harm.
"Harihar is quite uncommon as only 7 babies were named Harihar each year from 2009 onwards, making it rare with no other years having more than this annual total."
