From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
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[8a]re a second.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [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). (1997-03-16)
