The history of the last name Henrie

The surname HENRIE originated in England during the medieval period. It is derived from the Old French personal name Henri, which itself is a variant of the Germanic name Heimric, meaning "home ruler" or "ruler of the homestead." The name was introduced to England after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

The earliest known record of the surname HENRIE dates back to the 12th century in the county of Norfolk, where it was spelled Henrie. In the Hundred Rolls of 1273, a census of landowners in England, there are entries for a Roger Henrie and a William Henrie, both from Norfolk.

During the Middle Ages, the surname HENRIE was also found in various parts of England, including Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Suffolk. Some early examples of the name include John Henrie, a merchant from York in the 14th century, and Thomas Henrie, a landowner in Lincolnshire mentioned in the Subsidy Rolls of 1381.

In the 16th century, the spelling of the surname began to vary, with forms such as Henrie, Henrye, and Henrey being used. One notable bearer of the name from this period was Hugh Henrie (c.1520-1585), an English politician who served as a Member of Parliament for Plymouth.

The HENRIE surname has also been associated with several notable historical figures. Sir Edward Henrie (1667-1737) was an English politician and landowner who served as a Member of Parliament for Marlborough. Sir John Henrie (1737-1823) was a British naval officer who served during the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolutionary Wars.

Other prominent individuals with the surname HENRIE include Sir William Henrie (1777-1836), a British lawyer and judge who served as Chief Justice of Calcutta, and Sir Edward Henrie (1816-1892), a British army officer who fought in the Crimean War and the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

While the surname HENRIE has its origins in England, it has also been found in other parts of the world, likely due to migration and cultural exchange. However, the majority of historical records and notable individuals associated with this surname can be traced back to its English roots.
