Harry

Young or old, the fictional wizard Harry Potter has always been a favourite of all ages, with the books and films being a hit all around the world. The name Harry is considered to come from the Old German language. It was often used as a nickname for Harold or Henry. Harry is also considered to be a shorter version of the German name Heimerich. Heimerich comes from the elements 'heim', meaning ‘home’ or ‘land’, and 'ric', meaning ‘power’,‘rule’ or ‘ruler’. The name Harold also comes from the Old English words ‘here’ meaning ‘army’ and ‘weald’ meaning ‘to rule’, ‘to empower’ or ‘to lead’. The meaning of Harry thus translates to ‘home ruler’ or ‘army commander’. Henry Charles Albert David, also known as Prince Harry, is the son of the Prince and Princess of Wales and is one of the most popular members of the British Royal family. Another famous Harry is the musical heartthrob Harry Styles, who used to be a member of One Direction.
