Cedrica is English in Origin.
Cedrica is the feminine elaboration of Cedric, Sir Walter Scott's 1819 Ivanhoe coinage. Cedric was his reinterpretation and likely misspelling of the Anglo-Saxon royal name Cerdic, borne by the founder of Wessex in the 6th century. The underlying etymology is probably Brittonic, cognate with Welsh Ceredig 'beloved, cherished', from a Proto-Celtic root meaning 'love'. Thus Cedrica carries the sense of 'beloved' or 'dear one', with a modern feminine -a formation.
As a given name, Cedrica is a modern rarity, appearing sporadically in English-speaking countries and in Francophone contexts alongside Cédric. Feminine variants include Cédrique (French/Canadian), Cedrika, and Cedricka; shorter forms and nicknames include Cedi, Cedy, and Rica. Related masculine counterparts are Cedric/Cédric; historical antecedents include Cerdic and the Welsh Ceredig. While uncommon, Cedrica offers a literary pedigree, Anglo-Celtic roots, and an accessible contemporary sound.
