The name Heinrich is a boy's name of German, Dutch origin meaning "home of the king". Heinrich and is often added to lists like Names That Mean Ruler or Royal and discussed in our forums with posts like "Makeover name game: from one gender to the other".
From the experts:
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.

"Harro" is a nickname for Heinrich? Never heard that. "Heiko" maybe. But who wants to name their kids diminutives?
Heinrich is a great name. We have one. It is strange that German names are not popular anywhere.
Except Asia! Go figure.

That is already there. Why would you want more about him? Are you a neo-Nazi?
