feminine · Hungarian origin
Henriett is a Hungarian feminine form of the Germanic name Heinrich, itself composed of the elements haim, 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 spread across Europe largely through royal and aristocratic circles, including the influential Henriette Anne of England, daughter of Charles I. Related forms include Henrietta, Henriette, and the masculine Heinrich and Henrik.
