The history of Harris
**Harry** is the English pet soul of **Henry** — the name of kings recycled on ten thousand ploughmen. Southwestern registers preferred **-is** genitives (**Harris**) where northern clerks wrote **Harrison**; Welsh **ap Harry** feeds the same river. Tell a child: same godfather Henry, different inkblot.
