Narhar

Narhar is a Marathi given name, predominantly used in India. It is traditionally a male name and often found within Marathi-speaking communities of Maharashtra and neighboring states. The name is of Sanskrit origin, although its precise etymology and meaning are subject to interpretation. Common interpretations relate to the deities Vishnu and Shiva, with 'Nar' representing Vishnu (Narayana) and 'Har' representing Shiva (Hara). Therefore, the name can be understood as a composite representing both these prominent deities in Hinduism, signifying a devotee or one connected to both. It is sometimes seen as a shorter form of "Narayan Hari," a combined name invoking both deities. Individuals named Narhar are often given this name with the intention of invoking blessings and good fortune associated with these gods.
