harri

Harri is a masculine given name used primarily in Finland. It is the Finnish form of Harry, which is a diminutive of Henry and ultimately derives from the Germanic name Henry, meaning "home ruler." In addition to Finnish usage, Harri appears in other Nordic contexts as a male given name, and related forms include Harrie in Dutch/Flemish and Harri as an uninflected form in some languages.

Notable people named Harri include Harri Holkeri (1937–2011), a Finnish statesman who served as Prime Minister from 1987 to 1991; Harri Säteri, a Finnish professional ice hockey goaltender; and Harri Koskinen, a Finnish industrial designer known for work in contemporary furniture and lighting.

The name Harri reflects Finland's late-19th and 20th-century naming patterns, when standard Finnish forms of international names became established. It remains relatively common in Finland, though less so in neighboring countries. The name carries no official meaning beyond its historical association with Harry/Henry, but it is widely recognized as a traditional Finnish male given name.
