Harcort is English in Origin.

Harcort is a rare variant of the English surname-turned-given-name Harcourt, ultimately taken from the Norman place name Harcourt in the Eure department of northern France. Brought to England with the Normans after 1066, the surname became associated with prominent aristocratic families and, by the 18th–19th centuries, occasionally appeared as a gentlemanly given name.

The toponym combines Old French court ("manor, farmyard, enclosure") with a Germanic personal name element, likely Hari/Heri ("army") or Hard(u)- ("hardy, brave"), yielding senses such as "the manor/estate of Hari" or "the brave one's farm." Usage as a first name remains uncommon and leans masculine, though it can be considered unisex in modern practice. Spelling variants include Harcourt (standard), Harcort (this form), Harcord, and Harcot; related short forms such as Harc or Court sometimes appear. Notable echoes survive in British peerage titles and in literary and legal circles, lending the name an urbane, heritage-rich tone.
