Aleric is Germanic in Origin.
Aleric is a modern English variant of the Germanic name Alaric, built from ala “all, entire” and rīc “ruler, power,” yielding “ruler of all.” The form passed through Gothic into medieval Latin as Alaricus and into Old High German as Alarich. Cognate and variant forms include Alaric, Alarik (Scandinavian), Alarich (German), Alarico (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), and Latinized Alaricus; rarer English spellings are Alerick and Allerick.
The name is most famously borne by Alaric I, the Visigothic king who sacked Rome in 410, and by Alaric II in the early sixth century. Usage waned after the Middle Ages but reappeared in literary circles in the 19th and 20th centuries, with Aleric as a streamlined modern choice. Nicknames include Al, Ari, and Rick; feminine adaptations such as Alarica exist but are uncommon. Pronounced AL-ə-rik.
