Heine Origin and Meaning

The name Heine is a boy's name.

Heine is a masculine name of Germanic and Scandinavian origin, functioning as a short form of Heinrich (German) or Henrik (Scandinavian), ultimately derived from the Germanic elements 'heim' (home) and 'ric' (ruler, power), meaning 'ruler of the home.' The name gained recognition through notable bearers such as German poet Heinrich Heine. In Nordic countries, particularly Denmark and Norway, Heine has maintained modest usage as both a given name and surname. It has a strong, brief sound that travels well across languages while maintaining its Northern European character. Though uncommon internationally, Heine offers a distinctive alternative to more common names like Henry or Henrik while sharing their noble heritage.
