Enriquette
Enriquette Origin and Meaning
Enriquette is a feminine name of Spanish and French origin, serving as a diminutive form of Enrica or Henriette, which are feminine versions of Henry (Enrique in Spanish). The name ultimately derives from Germanic elements meaning 'home ruler' or 'ruler of the household.' While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, Enriquette has historical usage in Spanish-speaking regions and parts of France. The name carries an elegant, slightly old-fashioned quality with its distinctive suffix. Enriquette offers the appealing nickname options of Etta, Etti, or Ricki. For parents seeking a name with Latin flair and historical depth, Enriquette provides a memorable alternative to more common feminine forms of Henry.
