Harendera is Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Harendera is an Indo‑Aryan given name rooted in Sanskrit, built from Hari or Hara (divine epithets of Vishnu and Shiva; “remover, tawny one”) plus Indra (“lord, chief”). In Sanskrit compounds, -indra functions as an honorific for preeminence, so the name is read as “supreme lord,” often interpreted as an epithet of Shiva (via Hara) or of Vishnu (via Hari), and more broadly as “god of gods.” It appears in North and East Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Odia, Punjabi) through Sanskritization and later vernacular usage.
Documented in the 19th–20th centuries among Bengali and Punjabi scholars and officials - e.g., H. C. Mookherjee (Harendra Kumar Mookherjee) - the name continues today; Indian hockey coach Harendra Singh is a modern bearer. Variants include Harendra (standard form), Harendera (this spelling), Harindra, Harinder/Harindar, and Harender; extended forms like Harendranath/Harindranath also occur. Common short forms are Hari and, in diaspora settings, Harry.
