Really no idea - unless (wild guess) it is a latinised form of a germanic name, say Hargott, from hari "army" and gott "god". These words do appear as components of germanic names, e.g., gott in Gottfried/Godfrey; hari in Harsint ("army-truth"), Lothar ("people-army"). Not sure though, how they would stand up as components of female names.
