Henriikka

Henriikka is the Finnish feminine form of Henrik, which itself derives from the Old High German name Heimirich, composed of the elements heim, meaning home, and rih, meaning ruler or king, giving the overall sense of ruler of the home. The name entered widespread use across Europe through the influence of numerous medieval kings and saints who bore its masculine root form, Henry.
