- Henrietta (given name), a feminine given name, derived from the male name Henry
"Henrietta" is the debut single by The Fratellis, released on 12 June 2006, taken from their debut album Costello Music. It was their first UK Top 20 hit, charting at number 19, on the chart released 18 June 2006. "Henrietta" was released alongside "Flathead" and " Creepin' Up the Backstairs" as a download for the Rock Band 2 video game on 10 February 2009. It was also introduced in the bachelorette party scene in Made of Honor.
Henrietta is a feminine given name, derived from the male name Henry. The name is an English version of the French Henriette, a female form of Henri. A short version of the name is Harriet, which was considered the "spoken form" of Henrietta, much as Harry was considered the "spoken form" of Henry in medieval England.
All these names are derived from Henrik, which is ultimately derived from the Germanic name Heimiric, derived from the word elements heim, or " home" and ric, meaning "power, ruler." The male name Henry was first used in England by Normans. Henrietta Maria of France (born Henriette-Marie de France), queen consort of Charles I of England, first inspired wide use of the name in England in the 17th century. Authors Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran noted in their book Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana that Henrietta is one of the most "thoroughly upper-class names" in use in England.
Henrietta is no longer a widely used name in English-speaking countries, though its short form Harriet was the 73rd most popular name for baby girls born in England in 2007 and Henrietta was the 85th most popular given name for girls born in Hungary in 2005, perhaps inspired by Henrietta Ónodi, a top-ranked Hungarian gymnast. Both Henrietta and Harriet were last ranked in the top 1,000 most popular names for girls in the United States during the 1960s. Henrietta was the 446th most common name for females in the United States in the 1990 census.
Henrietta is an 18th-century novel by British/American author Charlotte Lennox. The first edition was published in 1758, and the second edition, revised by Lennox was published in 1761.
