Harrietta

Harrietta is an English feminine name formed as an elaborated variant of Harriet, itself the English feminine form of Harry, a medieval vernacular form of Henry. Henry derives from the Germanic elements haim, meaning home, and ric, meaning power or ruler, giving the name an overall sense of ruler of the home. Harrietta extends Harriet with the Latinate suffix -etta, adding a diminutive or ornamental quality common in English naming fashions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Closer cognates include Harriet, Henrietta, and Harriette.
