Henin is French in Origin.

Henin is a rare, modern given name with cross-cultural roots. In Francophone contexts it reflects the surname Hénin, a toponym from northern France/Belgium (e.g., Hénin-Beaumont). In given-name use, the form is sometimes associated with the Henry/Hein- family of Germanic names meaning “home ruler.” In Arabic-speaking usage, Henin can be a variant spelling of Hanin/Haneen (hanīn), a feminine name expressing “tender affection, longing, nostalgia.”

As a first name, Henin has surfaced mainly since the late 20th century, fitting the broader trend of adopting surnames as given names; its visibility was helped by the Belgian tennis champion Justine Henin. The name is used for all genders but skews feminine when aligned with the Arabic meaning. Variants and related forms include Hénin, Hanin, Haneen, Hein, Heine, Henri/Henry, and Henning. Diminutives such as Henny or Hennie may occur in English and Dutch settings.
