Home ruler
Harrietta is a girl’s name of English and Old German origin. It’s a variant of Harriet, a form of Henrietta, which ultimately derives from the Old Frankish male name Heimeric, meaning “home ruler.” A suitably majestic name for your little royal! Other variants of the name used around the world include Henriette, Enriqueta, Henrieta, Henriqueta, Hendrika, Harriët, and many more. In the US, however, Harriet and Henrietta have been the most popular, both ranking in the top 1,000 baby names from the 1880s until the 1960s. Harrietta combines these two elegant, vintage-sounding names to form an equally pretty moniker that’s sure to help baby stand out.
