Harry = Hrynko maybe?

What about Hrynko? Does that sound right for Harry?

Hrynko, Hryc, Hrychko

Absolutely! These are all nick variants of Ruthenian given name, equivalent to Gregory.

Harry is just an anglicized variation, which has very little to do with the actual Ruthenian given name.

Harry is derived from Medieval English form of Henry.
Henry comes from the Germanic name Heimerich which meant "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home" and ric "power, ruler". This name was introduced into Britain by the Normans. It was borne by eight kings of England including the infamous Henry VIII, as well as six kings of France and seven kings of Germany.
