Drika

Drika is a Dutch feminine given name functioning as a short form of Hendrika, itself the feminine equivalent of Hendrik, the Dutch form of Henry. Henry derives from the Old High German name Heimirich, composed of the elements heim, meaning home, and rihhi, meaning power or ruler. The name has been used in the Netherlands as an informal everyday form, much as Rika serves the same purpose. Related forms include Hendrika, Henrika, and Rika.
