A treasure to stumble upon in the quest for baby names, Harbin is typically given to boys and derives from the Old French and German Haribert. With its shining meanings of “brilliant or illustrious warrior” and “bright army,” Harbin celebrates baby’s radiant future as a strong and strapping star. This suave, two-syllabic name combines short and long vowels to create a sturdy appellation baby can declare with pride. Harbin is also the name of a sub-provincial city in China. Harbin is up there with dapper Harry, Harvey, and Henry and—we dare say—outshines them as a distinct and memorable title.
