Badrick is English in Origin.

Badrick is best understood as a modern Anglicized variant of Baldrick/Baldric, a medieval Germanic given name formed from bald “bold, brave” and rīc “ruler, power.” The composite yields meanings like “bold ruler” or “brave power.” Through Norman French transmission (Latinized as Baldericus/Baldricus), it entered Middle English naming alongside cognates such as Baudry in French.

The Baldrick/Baldric family of names was borne by clerics and nobles in 11th–12th‑century France and England, including the poet‑bishop Baudry (Baldric) of Bourgueil. After fading post‑medievally, it saw sporadic revival; the spelling Baldrick gained late‑20th‑century visibility via British television, which likely encouraged creative respellings like Badrick. Contemporary usage of Badrick remains rare in the UK and North America. Variants and related forms include Baldrick, Baldric, Balderick; French Baudry/Baudri; German Balderich. Short forms may be Rick or Ric.
