Henryk is the Polish, Czech, and Scandinavian variant of Henry, derived from the Germanic name Heinrich, meaning "home ruler" or "ruler of the household." This distinguished name combines the elements "heim" (home) and "ric" (power, ruler). Henryk has been borne by several Polish kings and notable figures, including the renowned composer Henryk Górecki and the writer Henryk Sienkiewicz, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature. While consistently popular in Eastern European countries, particularly Poland, the name has gained modest international recognition. Henryk offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Henry, with its distinctive Slavic spelling adding character and cultural depth.
