MEANING & HISTORY
What does Edric mean?
Edric continues Old English Eadric. The Germanic compound joins wealth or prosperity with ruler or king.
The modern spelling is a transmitted personal-name form rather than an abbreviation of Edward and Richard combined. The root describes the old naming structure. It does not establish a bearer’s finances, occupation or social rank.
