Henderson

Henderson is a boy's baby name of Scottish Gaelic origin, a patronymic surname meaning 'son of Hendry' (a form of Henry, from the Germanic meaning 'ruler of the home'). It has been used as a given name in the American South and in African American communities for generations.

With over 4,200 U.S. births, Henderson carries a distinguished Southern quality — it sounds like a family name honored as a first name, with the quiet confidence of a name that needs no further explanation.
