HARRIET. A
feminine form of English Harry
(q.v.), meaning "home ruler." Also spelled Harriot.
Usage: America, England, Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Wales.
Harry is the
true native English form of the name Henry, and it is therefore not
surprising that Harriet has always been more popular in England than Henrietta...
Many English surnames are derived from Heimdal
or Heimerich,
as, for instance, Herrick, Herries, Hamly, Hamlyn, Hamo, Harris and
Hall.
Harriet Martineau and Harriet Beecher Stowe may be
mentioned as having brought new honour to the name they bore. (Girls'
Christian Names, Swan, 1905)
