Question

Could someone explain how the name Henry is related to the name Helen? I assume "related" refers to etymological relation, not the accident of two letters being in common. Am I mistaken, or does the list of related names need some cleanup?

Henry is not a (Old High) German name.

The etymology of what is now "Henry" in English, "Heinrich" in German and "Hendrik" in Dutch predates all three of these languages. The name was already present in Common West Germanic dialects, perhaps even in Common-Germanic itself. The article used to state that Old French loaned its version from Middle High German; which is of course impossible. AKAKIOS (talk) 23:54, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
