Henricus is Latin in Origin.
Henricus is the medieval Latin form of the Germanic name Heinrich, built from Old High German heim "home, estate" and rihhi "ruler, power," yielding the sense "home-ruler" or "ruler of the household." Used by clerics and scholars, Henricus appears in charters, university matriculae, and ecclesiastical records as the formal register name for men otherwise called Hendrik/Henry in the vernacular.
The name flourished in Europe due to dynastic prestige: Holy Roman Emperors and several English and French kings are styled Henricus in Latin chronicles; Saint Henry II is venerated as Sanctus Henricus, and the missionary-bishop Henry of Uppsala is likewise rendered Henricus. Common in the Low Countries and Germany as a baptismal Latin, it yields numerous variants: Heinrich (German), Henry (English), Henri (French), Enrique (Spanish), Henrique (Portuguese), Enrico (Italian), Hendrik (Dutch), Henrik (Scandinavian), Henryk (Polish), Jindřich (Czech). Diminutives and call names include Henk, Hein, Rik/Rijk, Rikus, Harry, and Hal.
