During the Middle Ages this name became enormously popular in England and was borne by eight kings. Continental forms of the personal name were equally popular throughout Europe (German <i>Heinrich</i>, French <i>Henri</i>, Italian <i>Enrico</i> and <i>Arrigo</i>, Czech <i>Jindřich</i>, etc.). As an American family name, the English form <i>Henry</i> has absorbed patronymics and many other derivatives of this ancient name in continental European languages. (For forms, see Hanks and Hodges 1988.) In the period in which the majority of English surnames were formed, a common English vernacular form of the name was <i>Harry</i>, hence the surnames <a href="/baby-names/name-meaning/harris">Harris</a> (southern) and <a href="/baby-names/name-meaning/harrison">Harrison</a> (northern). Official documents of the period normally used the Latinized form <i>Henricus</i>. In medieval times, English <i>Henry</i> absorbed an originally distinct Old English personal name that had <i>hagan</i> "hawthorn." Compare <a href="/baby-names/name-meaning/hain">Hain</a> as its first element, though there has also been confusion with Amery.</p> <p>Irish: the Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hInnéirghe, meaning "descendant of <i>Innéirghe</i>", which is also a byname based on the word <i>éirghe,</i> meaning "arising." Additionally, Henry is a form of the Gaelic Mac Éinrí or Mac Einri, patronymics from the personal names <i>Éinrí</i>, <i>Einri</i>, the Irish forms of <i>Henry</i>. It is also found as a variant of <a href="/baby-names/name-meaning/mcenery">McEnery</a>.</p> <p>Jewish (American): Americanized form of various like-sounding Ashkenazic Jewish names.</p> <p>Canadian: A bearer of the name from the Touraine region of France is documented in Quebec city in 1667. Another bearer (also called Laforge), from the Champagne region, is documented in Montreal in 1710. Other secondary surnames include Berranger, Labori, Livernois, and Madou.</p> <p style="display: block; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: -9999px; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden;"> </p> </div> <div class="field-group"> <h2>Famous people with this first name</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-famous-first-name field--type-link field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/henry-winkler">Henry Winkler</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group"> <h2>Famous people who gave their babies this name</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-famous-parent-name field--type-link field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/martin-short">Martin Short</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/meryl-streep">Meryl Streep</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/minnie-driver">Minnie Driver</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/rachel-weisz">Rachel Weisz</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/seal">Seal</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/viggo-mortensen">Viggo Mortensen</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/emily-robinson">Emily Robinson</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/exene-cervenka">Exene Cervenka</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/heidi-klum">Heidi Klum</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/baby-names/celebrity/james-taylor">James Taylor</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group"> <span id="trend"></span> <h2>Henry in Pop Culture</h2> <p>Do you know these fictional characters that share this first name?</p> <ul> <li><b>Henry Jones Jr.</b> from <i>Indiana Jones</i> - Renowned archaeologist and adventurer.</li> <li><b>Henry Mills</b> from <i>Once Upon A Time</i> - The young boy who believes in fairy tales and is proven right.</li> <li><b>Henry DeTamble</b> from <i>The Time Traveler's Wife</i> - A librarian with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel unpredictly.</li> <li><b>Henry Jekyll</b> from <i>Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde</i> - A kind scientist who transforms into his evil alter ego.</li> <li><b>Henry Hart</b> from <i>Henry Danger </i>- A teenage superhero who fights crime under a secret identity.</li> </ul> <h2>Popularity of the Name Henry</h2> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/trends_nrtr/1845_RC03/embed_loader.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> trends.embed.renderExploreWidget("TIMESERIES", {"comparisonItem":[{"keyword":"henry","geo":"US","time":"today 5-y"}],"category":0,"property":""}, {"exploreQuery":"date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=henry","guestPath":"https://trends.google.com:443/trends/embed/"}); </script> <p>According to <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/">Social Security Administration</a> data, the name Henry has seen a resurgence in popularity, maintaining a strong presence in the top 20 names for boys in recent years.
