What is the meaning of the name Alarick ?

The baby name Alarick is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈæl.ə.rɪk/ (AL-ə-rik).

Alarick is Germanic in Origin.

Alarick is a modern spelling of Alaric, a name of Gothic (East Germanic) origin built from elements ala “all, entire” and reiks “ruler, king,” yielding the commanding meaning “ruler of all.” It echoes the power and pragmatism of early Germanic naming traditions, where leadership and scope were celebrated in compact compounds.

The name was borne by Visigothic kings, most famously Alaric I, who sacked Rome in 410 CE, and Alaric II, cementing its place in late antiquity. The -ck ending in Alarick is a contemporary Anglicized flourish; the more common forms are Alaric (English), Alarik (Scandinavian), Alarich (German), and Alarico (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese). Related short forms and nicknames include Al, Ari, Aric/Arik, and Rick. Usage today is rare but rising in English-speaking countries thanks to medieval-inspired literature and screen portrayals, giving Alarick a distinguished yet adventurous profile.
