Hendriks is Dutch in Origin.
Hendriks is a Baltic and Dutch-tinged form of the Germanic name behind Henry, from Heimirich (heim 'home' + ric 'ruler'). In Latvia, the -s ending marks the masculine nominative, making Hendriks a localized counterpart to Hendrik/Henrik. In Dutch, Hendriks is chiefly a patronymic surname meaning 'son of Hendrik,' only rarely used as a given name.
The name’s use in Latvia reflects centuries of Germanic and Scandinavian contact, while its broader familiarity comes from the many kings and saints named Henry. Variants include Hendrik (Dutch, Estonian), Henrik (Nordic, Central Europe), Heinrich (German), Henry (English), Henri (French), Enrique (Spanish), Enrico (Italian), Henrique (Portuguese), Henrikas (Lithuanian), and Hendrikus (Dutch), with short forms Henk and Rik. Meaning centers on 'home ruler' or 'ruler of the household.'
