Heini is a gender-neutral given name and surname originating in Germany and a variant of Henry and Heinrich. Formed by the words heim, meaning "home," and rīc, meaning "power," your little one will immediately assume the mantle of "home ruler." Just like baby Heini will do someday, the name moved out of its home and traveled across Europe, settling and ruling in new dwellings. Countries like Switzerland, Finland, and Wales have adopted Heini, with the name gathering a new meaning in the latter. A gender-neutral name in Wales, Heini means "healthy" and "spirited" to reflect baby's happy and positive outlook.
