Etymology
From *harjaz (‘army; army ruler, commander, warrior’) + *brandaz (‘fire, sword’). Note that the name is attested primarily in the context of legends commonly cited as dating back to the Germanic Heroic Age. This may point to the name being a post-Proto-Germanic innovation that spread through the Germanic languages through borrowing, but inheritance from Proto-Germanic cannot be ruled out completely.
