What is the meaning of the name Henriett ?

The baby name Henriett is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced HEN-ree-ett.

Henriett is French, Germanic, Hungarian in Origin.

Henriett is a Hungarian spelling of Henriette, the French feminine form of Henri, ultimately from the Old High German masculine name Heinrich, earlier recorded as Heimrich/Heimirich. Its two Germanic elements are heim, from Proto-Germanic *haimaz, home or household, and rihhi, from *rīkijaz, ruler, power, or realm. The literal sense is therefore home ruler, more exactly one who has authority over the household or estate.

The form Henriette spread in French and courtly European use from the early modern period, helped by figures such as Henrietta Maria of France, queen consort of England. Hungarian adapts many French feminine names with final consonants or shortened endings, and Henriett belongs to that pattern beside Henrietta. Related forms include German Henrike, Polish Henryka, Italian Enrica, and Spanish Enriqueta. In present use it is chiefly encountered in Hungary and Hungarian-speaking communities, while English-speaking countries more often use Henrietta or Harriet.
