Haaris

Boy name · 33 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Haaris: 33 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2003.

Haaris is a variant of the Arabic name Haris, meaning "guardian" or "cultivator," and is widely used in Muslim communities across Scotland. It shares roots with the name Harris, which in Scotland is more commonly a surname or place name, most famously the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. Notable bearers include Haaris Khan, a British boxer, and Haaris Mehmood, a Pakistani cricketer. The name has gained steady popularity among Scottish families of South Asian heritage, offering a modern alternative to the more traditional Harris while retaining the same strong, protective meaning.
