Harbhajan is Punjabi in Origin.
Harbhajan is a Punjabi/Sikh given name built from Har, ‘the Divine’ (ultimately from Sanskrit Hari), and bhajan, ‘devotional worship; hymn’ (Sanskrit bhajana). The sense is ‘one who sings God’s praises’ or ‘devotee of the Divine.’ Though especially associated with Sikh tradition, where Har refers to Waheguru, its components are known across North Indian languages. Gurmukhi: ਹਰਭਜਨ.
Widely used in Punjab and the Sikh diaspora, the name reflects the region’s kirtan and bhakti heritage. Notable bearers include cricketer Harbhajan Singh and singer-actor Harbhajan Mann; the spiritual teacher Harbhajan Singh Khalsa (Yogi Bhajan) helped make the name more familiar in the West. Predominantly masculine, it may also appear for women (e.g., Harbhajan Kaur). Variants and short forms: Bhajan, Bhajji; alternate transliteration: Harbajan. Related names include Harpreet, Harjot, and Gurbhajan.
