Meaning and history
Harrison comes from an English surname meaning "son of Harry," borne by U.S. presidents William Henry Harrison (1773–1841) and his grandson Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901). After reaching an American low in 1977, its use as a given name revived through actor Harrison Ford (1942–), star of Star Wars in 1977 and Indiana Jones in 1984.
