Harriet, often shortened to Harrie, is a unisex given name of Germanic origin. It translates to 'home ruler', derived from the Old German words 'harja' meaning 'army' and 'ric' meaning 'power'. Historically popular among royal families, the name was famously borne by Queen consort Harriet Lane Johnston (1830-1903), who served as First Lady of the United States. Today, Harrie is celebrated worldwide for its unique charm and timeless elegance.
"The name Harrie experienced fluctuations in popularity throughout the century, with peaks in the late 1910s and early 1920s, reaching a high of 18 births in 1921. However, it appears to have fallen out of favor by the mid-1960s."
