Etymology
Hendrix is a family name that comes from the old German name Hendrik, which is like Henry and means 'home ruler'. It originally meant someone from Hendrik's family or 'son of Hendrik', and today Hendrix usually brings to mind the famous guitarist Jimi Hendrix, so thinking of it as 'Henry's family' can help you remember the name.
