Harriet

• This name hasn't been used much in recent years, and it has lots of class and character and a sentimental, feminine sound.
• A lovely name w/ a lovely nickname - Hattie. This name has a sweetness to it that is hard to describe. It reminds me of a kinder, gentler time.

Harriet is a feminine form of Henry, via the diminutive form Harry. It was extremely popular in the mid-late 1800s into the 1900s when it fell out of favor. Diminutive forms include Hallie, Hattie, and Hetty.
