feminine · Hungarian origin
Henriett is a Hungarian feminine form of the Germanic name Heinrich, itself composed of the elements heim, meaning home, and ric, meaning power or ruler, giving the overall sense of ruler of the home. The name entered Hungarian usage as an adaptation of the French Henriette, which developed as a diminutive feminine form of Henri, the French equivalent of Heinrich. The name became fashionable across European aristocratic circles partly through figures such as Henriette of France, daughter of Henri IV. Related forms include Henriette, Henrietta, and Harriet.
