Meaning of Harold

Harold strides onto the stage like a proud caballero, his name forged in Old English fire from “Hereweald,” meaning “army ruler,” a title that sounds like trumpets on a sunny plaza. Picture medieval banners flapping, King Harold II guarding England, then fast-forward to the crayon-wielding dreamer in Harold and the Purple Crayon and the burrito-seeking buddy from Harold & Kumar; this name dances through history and pop culture like salsa on sturdy boots. Spoken “HAIR-uhld,” it rolls off the tongue as smoothly as honey over warm churros, strong yet sweet. He may sit around rank 700 in today’s U.S. charts, but Harold carries the quiet thunder of a timeless hero, ready to sketch new adventures on life’s wide canvas.
