Hanriette Origin and Meaning

The name Hanriette is a girl's name.

Hanriette is a feminine name that represents a variation of Henriette, which itself is the French feminine form of Henry. The name ultimately derives from Germanic roots meaning 'home ruler' or 'ruler of the household.' This elegant variation maintains the sophisticated French flair while offering a slightly unique spelling. Hanriette has never been widely popular in English-speaking countries but has occasionally appeared in French-speaking regions and among families seeking distinctive yet classical-sounding names. The name carries an air of aristocratic refinement and old-world charm, while still feeling approachable and warm.
