Goharuhi is Armenian in Origin.

Goharuhi is an Armenian feminine name formed from gohar, a loan from Middle Persian gohar "gem, noble essence," plus the Armenian feminine suffix -uhi, familiar from names like Varduhi. The compound therefore conveys "gem-like woman," "woman of noble essence," or simply "precious." In Armenian usage, gohar has also carried connotations of innate quality and worth, so the name can suggest both material brilliance and virtuous character.

The form is rare compared with the long-established Gohar and the affectionate diminutive Goharik, but it appears sporadically in 19th-20th century Armenian records and among diaspora families. Variant spellings include Goharui and Goharouhi; cognate forms in neighboring languages are Persian Gohareh and South Asian Gauhar. Not to be confused with Japanese Haruhi, which is unrelated. Modern bearers sometimes shorten it to Gohar or Ruhi as nicknames.
