Heinrich Origin and Meaning

The name Heinrich is a boy's name of German, Dutch origin meaning "estate ruler".

Traditional German names of this ilk have had a difficult time emigrating into the American name pool, mostly because anti-German sentiment during the two world wars of the 20th century drove German names out of fashion. One of Heinrich's nicknames, Harro, might do better.
