History & Origin
Harrie is an alternate spelling of Harry, itself the Middle English form of Henry - from the Old German haim, 'home,' and ric, 'ruler.' Harry had long stood as a name in its own right by the time this spelling appeared in U.S. records.
It was always uncommon, given to about eighteen boys a year at its earliest peak around 1921, and had faded from records by 1961. A boy named Harrie at peak would be well over a century old today.
