The name Harvest is an English word name, derived from the Old English hærfest, meaning “autumn” or “time of gathering crops.” Originally, hærfest referred to the season of reaping, the period between late summer and early autumn when grain and fruit were collected.

The name first came into use on both males and females in the mid 1800s.
