Meaning & background
(HAH-riss): guardian, watchman, cultivator in some usages. English readers may confuse it with Harris, so that is worth knowing. Stateside, it first shows up in 1980. It now sits outside the national top 1,000, which keeps it uncommon. Across all years, more than 1,800 children have been named this.
