Hendrikus or Hendricus is a Latinized form of the Dutch masculine given name Hendrik ("Henry"). It is a variant of Henricus, which itself derives from the Germanic name Heinrich, meaning 'home ruler' or 'ruler of the household.' The name has been widely used in Dutch-speaking regions and is often shortened to forms like Han, Hein, Hendrik, Henk, Hennie, Henny, Henri, Henry, Rijk, and Rik in daily life.
