Right diagnosis, and very close on the correct
interpretation. The last sentence should be '<Harud>,
from which <Hard>, <Hart>, <Harz> derive, signifies 'forest,
forest mountains', and the Haruden are the residents or
inhabitants of the Harud'.

<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harz_(Mittelgebirge)>:

Nach den Jahrbüchern von Fulda zum Jahre 852 wurde der
Harzgau von den Haruden bewohnt und nach ihnen der
Harudengau (Harudorum pagus) genannt. Harud, woraus Hard,
Hart, Harz wurde, bedeutet Wald, Waldgebirge, und die
Haruden sind die An- oder Bewohner des Harud.
