Henricus

Henricus is the Latinized form of the Germanic name Heinrich, composed of the elements haim, meaning home or estate, and ric, meaning power or ruler, giving the overall sense of ruler of the home or lord of the estate. It was widely used in medieval scholarly and ecclesiastical contexts, serving as the standard Latin rendering for kings, bishops, and scholars named Henry across Europe. The name is the direct source of vernacular forms in many languages, including Henry in English, Henri in French, Hendrik in Dutch, and Enrico in Italian.
