Harbor First Name Meaning

Harbor is a gender-neutral name of English origin, meaning "Boat Dock On The Shore." A harbor is a sheltered body of water where ships, boats, and barges can be moored, often used interchangeably with a port. Harbors can be natural or artificial, with examples such as Sydney Harbour and Long Beach Harbor. Artificial harbors are frequently built for use as ports, with the oldest known site dating back at least 4500 years. Natural harbors, on the other hand, are landforms where a section of a body of water is protected and deep enough to allow anchorage. Having a protected harbor reduces the need for breakwaters, and some harbors near the poles are ice-free, providing a strategic advantage. The Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is recognized as the world's busiest harbor by cargo tonnage.
