Henry is a masculine given name derived from Old French ''Henri'' / ''Henry'', itself derived from the Old Frankish name ''Heimeric'', from Common Germanic ''*Haimarīks'' (from '' *haima-'' "home" and ''*rīk-'' "ruler"). In Old High German, the name was conflated with the name ''Haginrich'' (from ''hagin'' "enclosure" and ''rich'' "ruler") to form Heinrich. The Old High German name is recorded from the 8th century, in the variants ''Haimirich, Haimerich, Heimerich, Hemirih''. Harry, its English short form, was considered the "spoken form" of Henry in medieval England. Most English kings named ''Henry'' were called ''Harry''.
