Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Helynévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Alapszavának több magyarázata is van. Lehetséges, hogy a szláv ’gyors, fürge’ jelentésű chrl szó átvétele a helységnév eredete. Valószínűbb azonban, hogy vagy az ótörök qara ~ ara ’fekete’ jelentésű, vagy az arabra visszamenő, de a magyarba oszmán-törökön keresztül szláv közvetítéssel bekerült ’durva posztó’ jelentésű, a nyelvjárások némelyikében ma is élő harár ~ hara szó vált személynévvé. Az Árpád-korban több Har ~ Chara nevet jegyeztek föl, s ezekből magyar névadással (minden végződés vagy összetétel nélkül, puszta személynévként) településnév lett Alsó-Fehér, Háromszék, Hunyad vármegyében Hár ~ Hara ~ Hári ~ Haraly formában. Ezeknek a községneveknek bármelyikéhez az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -i képző járult, s eredetre, származási helyre utaló családnév lett belőle. Elterjedtsége: Harai ~ Hari alakja Erdélyben, a Hári pedig az Alföldön, de különösen a Dunán túl, Zala megyében gyakori.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
