Origin & history of Henry1
Germanic roots
Henry derives from the Germanic Heimrich meaning ruler of the home or estate ruler. Eight Kings of England bore the name, from Henry I in 1100 to Henry VIII, the towering figure of the Tudor age. Henry has an extraordinary cultural and historical footprint — from Henry David Thoreau to Henry Ford, from Patrick Henry to Prince Henry, known as Harry. After decades of being considered old-fashioned, Henry staged one of the great name revivals of the 21st century, re-entering the US top 10 in 2015 for the first time in decades. A name that genuinely earns its classic status.
