Cedrik is English in Origin.

Cedrik is a streamlined modern variant of Cedric, the given name coined by Sir Walter Scott in Ivanhoe (1819). Scott seemingly reshaped the early Anglo-Saxon royal name Cerdic - borne by the 6th‑century founder of Wessex - which scholars trace not to Old English but to a Brittonic source such as Ceredig/Caradog, meaning “beloved” or “dear.” Thus Cedrik is commonly interpreted with that affectionate sense, though the form itself is literary rather than ancient.

Usage of Cedric and its spellings grew across the English-speaking world from the 19th century, with notable revivals in the later 20th and early 21st centuries. The Cedrik spelling appears most in Germanic and Nordic countries, where -rik endings (as in Henrik, Fredrik) feel familiar, and it is occasionally found in Central/Eastern Europe. Related forms include Cedric, Cédric (French), Sedric/Sedrick, and the rarer Cedryk. Short forms include Ced and Ceddy.
