Caddarik is in Origin.

Caddarik blends Celtic and Germanic name-making elements. The first part aligns with Welsh/Brythonic cad, “battle,” found in names like Cadogan and Cadfael; the second echoes the Germanic -ric/-rik, “ruler, power,” as in Alaric and Roderick. While no medieval bearer of the exact form is documented, comparable compounds were widespread across Britain and continental Europe, and the profile of Caddarik fits that tradition. Its sense is “battle ruler” or “power in battle.”

Usage today is rare and modern, most visible in English-speaking countries as a crafted alternative to Cedric and Cadrick, themselves linked to the Anglo-Saxon royal name Cerdic. Variant spellings include Cadaric, Caddaric, Caddrick, Cadrick, Cadrik, and Kadarik; short forms Cad, Caddy, Rick, and Rik are natural. The name appeals to parents seeking an ancient-flavored yet distinctive choice with strong, martial overtones.
