According to Wikipedia...

The name "Henry" originates from the Norman version of the Germanic name Haimirich, from which many modern names derive. Among them are names like Henry, Henri, Heinrich and their female counterparts, as well as less obvious ones such as Enrique. This name means 'ruler of the Home', from 'haim' (home) and 'rich' (powerful).

Even the name America may well derive from this name, from Haimirich > Heinrich > Henricus > Emericus > Americus > America.
