Hariram is a theophoric Indian male name from Sanskrit Hari + Rāma. Hari, an epithet of Vishnu/Krishna, derives from the root hṛ “to take away,” hence “remover (of sin/affliction),” while Rāma comes from ram “to delight,” meaning “pleasing, joyous.” Together Harirāma signifies “Hari and Rama,” or “one who rejoices in God,” and often carries the sense “devotee of Vishnu/Rama.” The name echoes the popular mantra “Hare Rama, Hare Krishna,” central to Vaishnava devotion.

Use spread across North India and Nepal through the Bhakti era; a notable bearer is the 16th‑century poet-saint Hariram Vyas of Braj. Today it appears in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, and Bengali communities, and in the Indian diaspora (e.g., Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad) as both given name and surname. Variants and spellings include Harirāma, Hari Ram, and Hariraam; common short forms are Hari and Ram.
