We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Haresh (हरेश) is a Hindu name. Name lists usually give it as "Lord Hari", treating it as a form of Harish, though some read it as a name of Shiva. The spelling fits Sanskrit hara, "destroyer", a name of Shiva, joined with īśa, "lord"; the Vishnu reading would normally be spelt harīśa, which is the name Harish. Monier-Williams does not record hareśa, so the meaning here is built from its parts. Families use the name in both senses.
