Henriques Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Span.) genit. of Henrique, more commonly Enrique = Henry, q.v. in Dict.
User-submitted Reference
'[Son] of Henrico.' Patronymic, Iberian origin. Many Iberian names end with '-es' or '-ez.' These are simply patronymics. Compare the Germanic suffixes '-s' and '-'s,' which, when attached to nouns or proper nouns, mean 'pertaining to' or 'belonging to.' The names date back to the Visigothic and Suebian invasions of Iberia. 'Henrico' is the Spanish cognate of 'Henry,' so the name might be translated as 'Henry's son' or 'Harrison/Harris.'
