Harilampos is Greek in Origin.
Harilampos is a Greek male name, a modern transliteration of Charalambos (Greek: Charálampos, Χαράλαμπος). It unites chara “joy” and lampos “radiant, shining” (from lampein “to shine”), yielding the sense “radiant with joy” or “shining joy.” Variation in Romanization produces spellings with Ch- or H-, and -lampos/-lambos (Greek mp = b), hence forms such as Haralambos, Charalambos, Charalampos, and Harilambos; Harilampos reflects contemporary pronunciation.
Usage is anchored in devotion to Saint Charalambos, a 2nd‑century bishop‑martyr of Magnesia revered across the Orthodox world as a protector against plague; his feast is 10 February. The name remains common in Greece and Cyprus and appears regionally as Haralambie (Romanian), Haralampije (Serbian), Haralampi (Bulgarian), and Kharlampii/Kharlampy (Russian/Church Slavonic). Short forms include Babis, Lambis, and Haris; feminine Charalambia/Haralambia occurs; and Charalambous is a frequent Cypriot surname derived from the given name.
Harilampos does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
