Harvie is an uncommon yet appealing given name of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic surname 'MacHarry', which means 'son of Harry'. It gained prominence through the character Harvie Krandall in the novel and subsequent film adaptation of 'The World According to Garp' by John Irving.
"The name Harvie experienced a notable resurgence in popularity from 2016 onwards, with the number of annual births tripling between 2019 and 2020, reaching a peak of 14 births in both 2020 and 2023. This contrasts with earlier decades, where Harvie was relatively uncommon, with fewer than 8 births per year from 1932 to 1946."
