Harry

Harry is an English pet form of Henry, which derives from the Germanic name Heimirich, composed of the elements heim, meaning home, and ric, meaning power or ruler. It was widely used in medieval England and long served as the everyday spoken form of Henry, as seen in several English kings commonly called Harry, most notably Henry V. The name also functions as an independent given name throughout the English-speaking world and in Dutch, Swedish, and German contexts. Harold and Henrik are among the related names sharing overlapping roots or usage.
