Henry \Hen"ry\, n.; pl {Henrys}. [From Joseph Henry, an
American physicist.]
The unit of electric induction; the induction in a circuit
when the electro-motive force induced in this circuit is one
volt, while the inducing current varies at the rate of one
amp[`e]re a second
From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]:
henry
n 1: a unit of inductance in which an induced electromotive force
of one volt is produced when the current is varied at
the rate of one ampere per second [syn: {H}]
2: (1791-1878) American physicist who studied electromagnetic
phenomena [syn: {Henry}, {Joseph Henry}]

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]:
henry
H The {SI} unit of inductance: one henry is the
inductance of a closed loop in which the induced voltage is
one volt if the current flowing through it changes by one
ampere each second i.e., 1 H = 1 Vs/A. Named after the
American physicist Joseph Henry (1797-1878).
