Baby will be the fastest little one in the drove with a name like Harwood. Typically given to boys, Harwood was originally a surname with Old English roots. The moniker derives from the terms har or hara and wudu, signifying “gray” or “hare” and “wood,” respectively. Hence the meaning “gray wood” or “wood of the hares.” Hares are known to be a quick little animal with long legs and pointy ears. So baby Harwood will probably be coming home with gold medals galore from sprints and marathons, whichever they prefer.
