ArchivesThe history, meaning, origin of Anre'a
Hi, my name is Anre’a and I pronounce my name like Un-Ray. I am curios about my name, origin, the meaning, and where the accents should go in my name. I was told that my name is French and it means Henry. I found similar names to mines, which are ANRAÍ and EINRÍ . They both are a form of Henry. Is A-n-r-e-’-a the correct form? In terms of how it should be spell or look. So, if anyone can offer some information about my name and how it should be pronounce that will be helpful and thank you.

The French form of Henry is Henri, and, as this site says, its pronunciation is normally "awn-REE", not "awn-RAY".
What is your ethnic background? When and where were you born? Have you asked your parents how they came to name you Anre'a? This looks to me like a modern African-American creation based on the French pronunciation of Henri, but we'd need more information about how you came to be given the name to be sure.
