Harihans
Harihans is a Hindu given name, predominantly used in India. It is a compound name derived from two Sanskrit words: "Hari" and "Hans."
-
Hari: A name of Vishnu, a principal deity in Hinduism, often associated with preservation and righteousness. "Hari" can also refer to the color green or yellowish-brown.
-
Hans: (Sometimes spelled "Hansa") Means "swan" in Sanskrit. The swan is often associated with purity, wisdom, and detachment. It is also the vahana (vehicle) of the goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and learning.
Therefore, "Harihans" can be interpreted as "Swan of Hari" or "Hari's Swan," implying qualities associated with both Vishnu and the swan, such as purity, wisdom, preservation, and righteousness. The name is typically given to males.
