Henk

Short and sweet, Henk will make a solid name for your bouncing new arrival. Considered a Dutch variant of the German last name Henke, it derives from the Old High German term Haimirich and means “home ruler.” Further down its etymological timeline, Henk has ties to the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain, where it was originally given to an individual who worked as a squire or page. Unsurprisingly, this is where it attains its other potential meanings: “squire,” “page of honor,” and “an attendant upon a nobleman or personage of high distinction.” Baby is bound to hold the most royal place in your heart, and with a name like Henk, they can play the part perfectly.
