Hank

Hank is often considered a short form of Henry or Harry, with roots in the Old Germanic name 'Heimirich', which means 'home ruler'. It's a name that carries a sturdy, no-nonsense vibe, making it popular in American westerns and associated with rugged, dependable characters. Its easy-going, familiar sound has made it a beloved classic over the years. While it stands strong on its own, some may use it as a nickname for Henry, although many appreciate its standalone charm.
