Harry is a male given name, the Middle English form of Henry.[1] It is also sometimes used as a diminutive form of Harold and Henry. In some cases, male speakers of Badaga who have the given name "Ari" and have been converted to Christianity are known to have changed their given name to "Harry".[2]
