Henry descends from a Germanic compound joining "home" or "estate" with "ruler," and its traditional sense points toward domestic authority rather than conquest abroad. The name has long carried an association with stewardship -- leadership measured by what's cared for and maintained, not simply commanded.
If the ascendant be fortunate, and the lord thereof unfortunate, it indicates a sound and healthful body, but an afflicted mind. But if the contrary happen, judge the contrary. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
