What is the meaning of the name Alleric ?

Alleric is Germanic in Origin.

Alleric is a modern English given name, most plausibly a creative variant of Alaric shaped by the familiar ending of Eric. Its roots trace to the Gothic Alaric (from ala “all” + reiks “ruler”), yielding the meaning “ruler of all.” The Alleric spelling softens the middle vowel and underscores the name’s sleek, contemporary feel while preserving the ancient Germanic sense of leadership and dominion.

Use of Alleric is rare but growing in Anglophone countries since the late 20th century, often appealing to parents who want Alaric’s heritage with a fresher silhouette. The historical anchor is Alaric I, the Visigothic king who sacked Rome in 410 CE, which kept the base name in literary and Romantic-era circulation. Close variants include Alaric, Aleric, Alarik (Scandinavian), Alarich (German), and Alarico (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese); occasional spellings like Allerick also occur. Short forms include Al, Ari, Ric, and Rick.
