الأصل والتاريخ

Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Henrik', the Scandinavian form of Henry, from the Old High German 'Heimrich' composed of 'heim' (home) and 'ric' (power, ruler) — thus 'ruler of the home' or 'home power'. The name Henry was borne by numerous German, English, and French kings, spreading it across medieval Europe and into Scandinavia. Henrik became a widely used Norwegian and Danish given name, particularly among the educated and aristocratic classes, and the patronymic Henriksen is correspondingly spread across all social strata in Norway today.
