On jendrich and Heinrich
I cannot track the entire history of the name, but I can shed some light over it's meaning.
Jendrich seems to be a slavic form of the deutch name Heinrich which in english became Henry .Heinrich seems to come from "hagan rihi" or "haim ric"
haim = heim (home)
hagan = Einfriedung (fenced around), Schutz (shelter)
rihi / ric = reich (rich), mächtig (powerful), Regent (ruler)Many kings wore this powerful name.
