Henryk is the Polish form of the Germanic name Heinrich, from heim “home, estate” and ric “ruler, power,” yielding the meaning “ruler of the home” or “home leader.” The name likely entered Polish usage via medieval contacts with German principalities and the spread of Christian naming traditions, then persisted among nobility and townspeople. It remains familiar in Poland, peaking in the mid-20th century and enjoying periodic revivals as a vintage classic. Notable bearers include Nobel-winning novelist Henryk Sienkiewicz and composer Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.

The Polish feminine is Henryka. Common diminutives are Henio and Heniek. Related surnames include Henrykowski and the patronymic Henryczak.
