覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
henry は英語圏の伝統的な男性名 Henry で、文中でも通常は大文字で書きます。ゲルマン語系の「家」と「支配者」に当たる要素から成る名前として、英国王の名 Henry と結び付けると定着します。一般名詞ではなく、Henry worksやfrom Henryのように人を指します。
Remember Henry as a personal name, not a common noun. It is normally capitalized, so write Henry works as an engineer or a book from Henry. The name is strongly associated with English history because several kings were named Henry, which provides an easy cultural anchor. Its older Germanic elements conveyed the ideas of “home” and “ruler,” so the image of a ruler of a household supports the historical formation without changing the modern meaning. Related European forms, including Henri and Heinrich, help show that the same traditional name traveled through different languages.
