Hariman is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Hariman blends Germanic and Indic naming traditions. In a European etymology, it derives from Proto-Germanic hari- “army” + man “man,” the same compound that yields Herman/Hermann. Medieval forms like Heriman appear in records, and the English surname Harriman preserves the element. In this line, Hariman carries the martial meaning “army man,” “warrior.” Related variants and cognates include Herman, Hermann, Harman, Heriman, and the surname Harriman.

Across South and Southeast Asia, Hariman is also read through Sanskritic patterns: Hari (a name of Vishnu, “the remover, the radiant one”) + man/manas (“mind, heart”), giving devotional senses such as “one whose heart is with Hari.” This interpretation underlies modern use in India, Nepal, and Indonesia; the spaced doublet Hari Man occurs in Nepali naming. Alternative scholarly transliteration Harimān sometimes appears. Though uncommon in the West, Hariman sees occasional use as a transferred surname.
