Etymology
From Old Norse herra, from Old Saxon hērro, from Old Dutch hēriro, Old High German hērro, the comparative form of hēr (“noble, venerable”) (German hehr), by analogy with Latin senior (“elder”). Cognates include Danish, Norwegian and Swedish herre, Dutch heer, German Herr. The Old High German word originally meant “grey, grey-haired”, and descends from Proto-Germanic *hairaz (“grey”), making it cognate with Old English hār (English hoar), Old Norse hárr. See: Old Norse Nouns '
herra', Swedish Nouns '
herre', Dutch Nouns '
heer', German Nouns '
Herr', English Nouns '
hoar', Old Norse Nouns '
