About:
__

William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 ΓÇô June 5, 1910), known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer. O. Henry’s short stories are known for their wit, wordplay, warm characterization and clever twist endings.

Pen Name:
__

Porter gave various explanations for the origin of his pen name. In 1909 he gave an interview to The New York Times, in which he gave an account of it:

It was during these New Orleans days that I adopted my pen name of O. Henry. I said to a friend: “I’m going to send out some stuff. I don’t know if it amounts to much, so I want to get a literary alias. Help me pick out a good one.” He suggested that we get a newspaper and pick a name from the first list of notables that we found in it. In the society columns we found the account of a fashionable ball. “Here we have our notables,” said he.

We looked down the list and my eye lighted on the name Henry, “That’ll do for a last name,” said I. “Now for a first name. I want something short. None of your three-syllable names for me.” “Why donΓÇÖt you use a plain initial letter, then?” asked my friend.

“Good,” said I, “O is about the easiest letter written, and O it is.”

A newspaper once wrote and asked me what the O stands for. I replied, “O stands for Olivier, the French for Oliver.” And several of my stories accordingly appeared in that paper under the name Olivier Henry.

In the introduction to The World of O. Henry: Roads of Destiny and Other Stories (Hodder & Stoughton, 1973), William Trevor writes that when Porter was in the Ohio State Penitentiary “there was a prison guard named Orrin Henry, whom William Sydney Porter . . . immortalised as O. Henry”.

The writer and scholar Guy Davenport offers another explanation: “The pseudonym that he began to write under in prison is constructed from the first two letters of Ohio and the second and last two of plenipotentiary.”
