The name Harjas was particularly popular during the medieval period in Punjab, a region located in present-day Pakistan and India. It was often given to boys born into royal families or those with high social status, as it was believed that the name would bring them good fortune and success throughout their lives.

It is often associated with individuals who are ambitious, confident, and determined to achieve their goals, reflecting the name's original significance.
