What is the meaning of the name Hara Gopal?

I would like to find the significance of the name Hara Gopal. So please do let me know if you have one.

What is the meaning of the name Hara Gopal?
THERE was a goldsmith who kept a jewellery shop. He looked like a great devotee with beads round his neck, rosary in his hand, and customary holy marks on his forehead. Naturally people trusted him and came to his shop on business. They thought that, being such a pious man, he would never cheat them. Whenever a party of customers entered the shop, they would hear one of his craftsmen say, "Kesava! Kesava!'


Another would say after a while, "Gopal! Gopal!'


Then a third would mutter, "Hari! Hari!'


Finally someone would say, "Hara! Hara!'


Now these are different names of God. Hearing so much chanting of God's names the customers naturally thought that this goldsmith must be a very superior person.
