<p>Henny is a feminine name with multiple origins. In Germanic languages, it functions as a diminutive of Hendrika or Henrietta, ultimately derived from the masculine Henry, meaning 'home ruler'. In Jewish communities, it often serves as a Yiddish nickname for Hannah, meaning 'grace'. The name gained modest popularity in the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries during the mid-20th century but has remained relatively uncommon in English-speaking nations. Henny carries a warm, friendly quality with its accessible pronunciation and cheerful sound. The name also has cultural ties to Dutch heritage and Ashkenazi Jewish traditions. In recent years, it has occasionally been rediscovered by parents seeking vintage names with cross-cultural appeal and simple charm.</p>
