origin
Heinrich comes from Old High German and is probably the successor to the Old High German name Heimrich, as Heinrich appears in texts and documents at the time when Heimrich disappears. The name is composed of heim for " home , house " or hagan for " court " (from which Hag : "enclosed place") and rîhhi for "mighty, prince".
distribution
In the second half of the Middle Ages the name Heinrich was very common, a large number of men were called either Heinrich or Konrad at the time . In the last few years of the 19th century until the 1910s, Heinrich was one of the ten most popular boy names in Germany. Its popularity then gradually declined, from the mid-1940s it fell sharply. The name has hardly been used since the 1980s. The English or French variant Henry / Henri is very popular again.
