MacHenry Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Either MacĚnri, a Síol Eoghan family; or Mac Einri, a Connemara sept; or a variant of MacEniry, q.v.
The name MacHenry is now mainly found in south-east Ulster. IF 137; MIF 262; Map Gal
Contracted from MacHenry, ‘Henry’s Son'.
'MacHenry, ' a.d. 1248.
Dr. Joyce, however, says that the MacHenry in Ireland is derived from Innerighe, ‘Early Riser', and that many MacHenrys now call themselves Early and Yardly. We find 'MacInnerigh' in O’Huidhrin’s poem, and in 1511 we have MacEnere as well as MacHenry, so it looks as if some, at any rate, of the Kinrys derived their names from this source. In the Isle of Man Kinry has been invariably translated into Harrison, which has now almost entirely superseded it. In Andreas and Bride it is often pronounced Kinzi.
