Harut is Armenian in Origin.

Harut is an Armenian and Near Eastern male name with layered origins. In Armenian, Harut (Հարութ) is the familiar short form of Harutyun/Harutiun (Հարություն), literally “resurrection,” a central concept in Armenian Christian vocabulary. Used both as a nickname and as an independent given name, it appears widely across Eastern and Western Armenian communities and the diaspora; the related surname Harutyunyan denotes “descendant of Harutyun.” Common variants and transliterations include Harutyun, Harutiun, Harout, Haroutiun/Haroutioun, and Haroot.

In Islamic and Persianate contexts, Harut (Arabic Hārūt, Persian Harut) names one of the two angels, Harut and Marut, referenced in the Qur’an at Babylon, which led to its use in Arabic-, Persian-, and Kurdish-speaking regions. The precise etymology in this strand is debated - some scholars connect it to the Iranian theonym Haurvatāt - so it is often understood simply as an “angelic” name. Additional variants include Hārūt, Haroot, and the paired Marut.
