Henry

Origine et signification de Henry

Henry is the English form of the Germanic Heimerich, from heim, 'home, homeland,' and ric, 'ruler, powerful': the 'lord of the household.' It matches the Italian Enrico and German Heinrich, names borne by countless European kings and emperors. Today Henry is widespread across the English-speaking world and keeps a classic, gentlemanly charm — poised between aristocratic tradition and a timeless freshness that keeps winning parents over.
