Errico

Italian variation of Henry

Errico Origin and Meaning

The name Errico is a boy's name.

Errico is a masculine Italian name, serving as a variant of Enrico, which is itself the Italian form of Henry. The name derives from Germanic roots, specifically 'haim' (home) and 'ric' (ruler), essentially meaning 'home ruler' or 'ruler of the household.' This variation with the doubled 'r' sound gives the classic name a distinctively Italian flair. While Enrico is relatively common in Italy, Errico remains a less frequent choice, particularly outside of southern Italy where it has some regional presence. The name carries the dignity associated with its royal connections - numerous European monarchs have borne versions of this name - while offering a slightly uncommon alternative with authentic Italian heritage. Its pronunciation, with emphasis on the first syllable, creates a strong, memorable sound.
