What is the meaning of the name Harender ?

The baby name Harender is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced huh-REN-der (IPA: /həˈrɛn.dər/).

Harender is Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Harender is an Indian given name rooted in Sanskrit, combining har- (a theonym referring to Hari/Vishnu or Hara/Shiva, and in Sikh usage a general term for the Divine) with the suffix -endra, from Indra, which in compounds denotes "chief, lord, foremost." The compound thus conveys meanings such as "lordly Hari/Hara," "foremost of the divine," or more simply "God as king." It is typically masculine, though the close variant Harinder can be unisex in Punjabi settings.

Attested since the late 19th and early 20th centuries in North India and Bengal (for example, statesman Harendra Coomar Mookerjee), the name has remained in use among Hindi- and Punjabi-speaking communities and in the Sikh diaspora. Variants include Harendra, Harendar, Harinder, Harindar, and Harender/Harendar as orthographic alternatives. Diminutives include Hari, Inder, and Harry. Related -endra names are Mahendra, Narendra, and Surendra.
