Meaning & origin
Harvest entered U.S. birth records in 1973 and has gradually increased in use, particularly since 1998. Its peak popularity occurred in 2022, after which it saw slight fluctuation. With a 2025 rank of 8362 and an incidence of 1 in 133,939, it remains a distinctive choice. The name has been rising in usage over the past few decades, reflecting a broader trend toward nature-inspired word names. Harvest is not strongly associated with any particular region, as it has been recorded across various states without a clear geographic concentration.
Harvest comes directly from the Old English word 'hærfest,' meaning autumn or the season for gathering crops. It is a rare given name, likely adopted from the common English vocabulary word, and has been used sporadically since the late 20th century. Its appeal lies in its nature-themed and agricultural associations, similar to other word names like Autumn or Summer.
