Henryho

Henryho is the genitive singular form of the given name Henry in Czech and Slovak. It is used to indicate possession or association, corresponding to the English phrase “Henry’s” or “of Henry.” The form typically appears when the English name Henry is incorporated into Czech or Slovak texts and later inflected for grammatical purpose.

Etymology and form: Henry itself derives from the Germanic name Heimirich/Heinrich, meaning “home ruler.” In Czech and Slovak, foreign personal names adopted into the language often take a genitive ending for possessive constructions, with Henry becoming Henryho in the singular genitive.

Usage and examples: Henryho can occur in noun phrases such as “kniha Henryho” (Henry’s book) or “dopis Henryho” (Henry’s letter). It functions purely as a case-inflected form rather than as an independent given name within these languages. In both Czech and Slovak, the standard native equivalent of Henry is Jindřich, and Henryho is most typical in contexts where an English or foreign form is preserved and then grammatically declined.

Notes: Henryho is not commonly used as a standalone personal name in Czech or Slovak; it is a grammatical form applied to the foreign name Henry. When translating or adapting names, speakers may choose whether to keep the foreign form (Henry) or render a native equivalent (Jindřich) depending on context.
