Henrika

US Popularity Rank: 8535

Origin: Swedish

Meaning: Home ruler

Henrika is a super-sweet girl’s name of Swedish origin. Taken from the German name Heimirich, this three-syllable gem means “home ruler” and might do if your little darling knows they’re head of the house. While home is where the heart is for Henrika, it's bound to be a hit across the cosmos, too. In 1916, a carbonaceous asteroid—later christened 826 Henrika—was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf and is still in observation to this day. The stars are the limit for this stay-at-home name!
