Alfrick is English in Origin.
Alfrick is a rare English masculine name deriving from Old English Aelfric (aelf "elf" + ric "ruler, power"), giving the evocative meaning "elf-ruler" or "elf-power." Pronounced AL-frik, it echoes a cluster of early medieval names built on the -ric element denoting might or leadership.
In Anglo-Saxon England Aelfric was common, borne by churchmen and nobles, notably Aelfric of Eynsham and an archbishop of Canterbury. The spelling Alfrick reflects later anglicization and may also be influenced by the Worcestershire place-name Alfrick, itself from the same personal name; as such it appears occasionally as a surname. Variants and related forms include Aelfric, Alfric, Elfric, and Elric; distant cousins in the wider Germanic family are Alaric and Aldric. Possible short forms are Alf, Al, and Rick. Today Alfrick is distinctive and seldom used, appealing to parents drawn to Old English heritage.
