Wikipedia
In J. R. R. Tolkien's epic fantasy legendarium detailing lands within Middle-earth, Harad - or more formally the Harad - was the name for the immense lands south of Gondor and Mordor. In Tolkien's invented languages, Harad means South in Sindarin, and it was named Hyarmen in Quenya with the same meaning. It is also referred to as the Sunlands, and as Haradwaith (from the people who lived there; the name literally means "South-folk", from the Sindarin harad, "South" and gwaith, "people").
Harad can also refer to several things:
- Harad, a fruit of the Terminalia chebula tree used as an ayurvedic medicine
- härad, a Swedish administrative area
- Haradh, Saudi Arabia, a town in Saudi Arabia
- The Harad District of the Hajjah Governorate, Yemen
- Harad, a fictional region in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth.
- Harad (toponymy), a Slavic toponym
Harad or Gord (archaeology) is a version of the Slavic word meaning town, city or castle, and is preserved in the toponymy of numerous Slavic countries:
- Davyd-Haradok
- Haradok
