Harri: 24 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2014.
Harri is the Welsh form of Harry, itself a diminutive of Henry, which comes from the Germanic name Heimrich, meaning "home ruler." While the name is most famous in fiction as the boy wizard Harry Potter, real-life bearers include Harri Webb, the 20th-century Welsh poet and nationalist, and Harri Pritchard Jones, a Welsh writer and psychiatrist. There are no major place connections linked directly to Harri, though the root Henry has inspired many place names worldwide. In Scotland, Harri offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Harry, carrying a strong Celtic flavour while remaining familiar. It has steadily appeared in Scottish birth records, reflecting the close cultural ties between Scotland and Wales.
