Harib is an Arabic word that means "war-wager", one who engages in or starts wars with others. This word is disliked by scholars to be used as a name because all names that have the H6-R-B root ("war") are considered bad names. This is due to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated by Abu Dawood and al-Baihaqi, that says the most disliked names to Allah are Harb ("war") and Murrah ("bitter"). For this reason, even though H6-R-B is a Quranic root, we do not include this name in our list and we advise that you shouldn't use it.

Harib means soldier. And It can also mean “High Alienated” or “Runner” Arabic: (حرب: نفور العليا . عداء.) It was also the nick name of Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him)

@1: Both Harb and Harib are strongly disliked named due to their war-related meaning. For more information you can read Fatwa 71631 (Arabic) on the trusted IslamWeb website (which is run by the Qatari Islamic Affairs ministry), which says that Harib is strongly disliked due to the fact that it comes from the same root as Harb.
