No. The name "Henry" is not a Biblical name. However, it does have a fascinating history behind it:
HENRY--
GENDER: Masculine
USAGE: English
PRONOUNCED: HEN-ree [key]
Meaning & History
From the Germanic name Heimirich which meant "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home" and ric "power, ruler". It was later commonly spelled Heinrich, with the spelling altered due to the influence of other Germanic names like Haganrich, in which the first element is hagan "enclosure".
Heinrich was popular among continental royalty, being the name of seven German kings, starting with the 10th-century Henry I the Fowler, and four French kings. In France it was rendered Henri from the Latin form Henricus.
The Normans introduced this name to England, and it was subsequently used by eight kings, ending with the infamous Henry VIII in the 16th century. During the Middle Ages it was generally rendered as Harry or Herry in English pronunciation. Notable bearers include arctic naval explorer Henry Hudson (1570-1611), British novelist Henry James (1843-1916), and American automobile manufacturer Henry Ford (1863-1947).

Henry is the Old French for the German Heinrich, it was probably brought over after the Frankish Tribal Confederacy took over Gaul. The first famous Heinrich was Henry the Fowler Duke of Saxony, the 1st King of Ottonian Germany in 919. Congrats, Henry is probably the closest name to being some ruthless barbarian warlord, hence the whole "ruler of 1000 houses" thing.

To the best of my knowledge I have never heard the name Henry mentioned in the Bible but I wouldn't feel bad. My name is Allan and I have never seen my name mentioned in the Bible either and I'm sure there are a host of Christian names used regularly which aren't found in the Bible.

according to this site, Henry means "ruler of the household". I am not sure how they arrive at that:
