Éinri
Éinri Origin and Meaning
Éinri is the Irish Gaelic form of Henry, a masculine name with Germanic origins meaning "home ruler" or "ruler of the household." The original Germanic name Heimirich combines the elements "heim" (home) and "ric" (ruler, power). In Ireland, Éinri has been used for centuries, often appearing in historical records of Gaelic families. While less common than the anglicized Henry in modern Ireland, Éinri represents a connection to Irish linguistic heritage and culture. The name has maintained a modest presence in Ireland but hasn't achieved widespread popularity internationally compared to other Irish names like Liam or Aidan.
