The British boy’s name Hardin has the meaning “valley of the hares.” This charming name derives from the Old English word hara, meaning “hare,” and denu, meaning “valley.” Despite—or maybe due to—a hare’s size, they can be quite cunning and swift, giving them an advantage in sticky situations. Hardin may also stem from the Old English surname Hearding, meaning “hard,” “firm,” “harsh,” “brave,” and “strong.” Its French origins link it to Hardouin, meaning “strong or hard friend.” Like a hardy hare, no matter what obstacles are ahead for your little one, Hardin will use their quick wit and agility to get ahead of the rest.
