the correct meaning ofharish can be obtained from sanskrit language from where the now being used Hindi language originated. 'hari' and 'ish' is how one has to break up the sanskrit language to understand its sense. 'hari' meaning lord vishnu and 'ish' meaning the lord.

so the lord of lord vishnu. who is this person?

lord ram (rama) and lord krishn (Krishna), to name a few, are the incarnations or avtaars of lord vishnu.

when ram had to cross the vast sea to enter lanka (in the historic ramayan epic), he built up a shiv ling and offered his prayers to gain victory over the vast water body and the cruel ruler of lanka, ravan(ravana). later the land on which lord ram made this shiv ling acquired the name rameshwaram, meaning the land of ram's deity (ram-eshwar-am)

shiv is the other name and shiv ling is a symbol of lord shankar. so the lord of lord vishnu is no other than shiv or shanker.

internet findings have shown that many people have put this up as 'hari', the monkey and 'is' 'ish' as lord. meaning lord of the monkeys ie. lord vishnu.

others have put it up as a name of colour.

some have also put it up as: like a hare

the following may have no reference to the answered question but i wish to put it up here. my name is harish and i have personally noticed that the meaning is correct to my character. i personally believe that what ever name a person's parents give to their child has a meaning to its character also.

in these times when we are not so religious or bhaktiful, we must go back to the days of our forefathers when they had absolute faith on God and god men like priests gurus and guru-brahmins and also that those god men were also so truthful in making the horoscope of the newborn that even God used to send goddess saraswati on the lips of the parents to utter the name, their offspring would carry all his life and so that any gyani (learned man) could understand his/her character and take according steps to teach or preach him/her when they are no more for his/her guidance.
