a name so kingly that eight English monarchs fought just to keep it.
means A masculine given name, and also the SI unit of electrical inductance (symbol H).
from From the Old High German 'Haimirich,' joining 'haim' (home) and 'ric' (ruler, power) — literally 'ruler of the home,' a cousin of the same Germanic roots behind 'home' and 'rich.' It traveled through Frankish into Old French as 'Henri' and reached English with the Normans, where it bred a dynasty of kings. The electrical unit is separate: it honors the 19th-century American scientist Joseph Henry, who studied electromagnetic induction.
