To a slightly lesser extent, the name also occurs as a diminutive of Harald, Harold, Harm and Harmen (and therefore by extension of Herman(us) as well). In other words: Harry is also used as a diminutive of names that contain the Frankish (Germanic) element 'hari' meaning "army".
In Dutch, Harry is pronounced as: /'ɦɑ.ri/
