Eddryc is English in Origin.

Eddryc is a modern, stylistic respelling of the Old English name Eadric/Edric, formed from ead “prosperity, blessing” and rīc “ruler, power.” The composite meaning is “prosperous ruler” or “wealthy ruler.” The double-d and y reflect contemporary naming aesthetics while preserving the traditional sound (typically pronounced ED-rik). The core elements are widespread in Germanic anthroponymy, with rīc seen in names like Frederick and Eric, though Eddryc belongs to the Anglo-Saxon branch.

Eadric was borne by several early medieval English nobles, notably Eadric Streona, ealdorman of Mercia under Æthelred and Cnut, which kept the name visible in chronicles. After waning post-Conquest, Edric/Edrick resurfaced in 19th–20th-century medieval revivals. Attested and related variants include Eadric, Edric, Edrick, Edrik, Edryk, Edrich (surname), and the Latinized Edricus; feminine forms such as Edrica appear in modern use. Nicknames range from Ed and Eddie to Rick or Ricky.
