Harry is also highly common in the Dutch-speaking world. It's already very common as an official name on birth certificates, but even more common as an informal name in daily life for men who are officially named Henri, Hen(d)ricus and Hendrik.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/Sources:

Harry is also used as a diminutive of Harold, Harrison, Harvey, and other names beginning with Har. Harry is also used as a feminine given name in English. However, it's more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine".Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_(given_name)
