Hari Das is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Hari Das is a compound theophoric male name from Sanskrit: Hari + dasa. Hari, an epithet of Vishnu/Krishna, means "tawny, lion-colored," and by folk etymology "remover (of sins)"; dasa means "servant, devotee." Together they express "servant of Hari," signaling Vaishnava devotion. The form spread into many Indian languages through liturgical and vernacular use.
The name is well attested in medieval and early-modern bhakti circles: Swami Haridas of Vrindavan (16th c.) and Haridasa Thakur, disciple of Chaitanya, are notable bearers. Usage remains common in North and East India (Bengal, Odisha, Assam), parts of Nepal and Sri Lanka, and among the diaspora, written either as two words or the single Haridas. Variant spellings and forms include Haridas, Haridasa (Kannada/Sanskritized), Hari Dass, Hari Dasa, and Punjabi Hardas; the feminine Haridasi appears rarely. Related surnames such as Das reflect the same devotional title. Usual nickname: Hari.
