Henrietta
Featured in baby name books
Henrietta is the German-derived feminine form of Henry, meaning “ruler of the home,” with Hattie, Hettie, and Etta as nicknames. While Henry is booming, Henrietta has slipped, perhaps because -etta endings are out of style, but it is popular in England and makes a fresh alternative to Charlotte or Amelia.
