Harutyun is Armenian in Origin.

Harutyun is an Armenian male given name meaning “resurrection,” taken directly from the Armenian noun harutyun (Հարություն; Classical/Western spelling Յարութիւն), formed with the nominal suffix -utyun “-ness, -tion.” It reflects Armenia’s early Christian vocabulary and is common in both Eastern and Western Armenian. Spellings vary across the diaspora: Harutiun, Haroutiun, Haroutioun, Haroutyun; short forms include Harut and Haro, and the Anglicized Harout. Related surnames are Harutyunyan/Haroutunian.

The name is widely used among Armenian Apostolic and Catholic families and often marks a child born near Easter or devotion to Christ’s Resurrection. Attested since at least the medieval period, it remains common in Armenia and in diasporan communities in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Russia, France, and North America. Though solemn in full, its diminutives are everyday staples, and the patronymic -yan yields prevalent surnames. Female use is rare.
