Edric is English, Germanic in Origin.
Edric is an English given name from Old English Ēadric, composed of ēad (wealth, prosperity) + rīc (ruler, power). The sense is “prosperous ruler” or “wealthy ruler.” The second element -ric appears across Germanic names; Edric is etymologically related to Edmund and Edgar through ēad. The modern spelling Edric reflects Middle English reduction of the Ead- element, paralleling Edmund from Eadmund.
In use in Anglo-Saxon England; borne by figures like Eadric Streona, 11th‑century ealdorman of Mercia, and King Eadric of Kent (7th century). After the Norman Conquest it waned, resurfacing in the 19th‑century medieval revival and enjoying sporadic modern use in Britain and beyond. Variants include Eadric (historical), Edric (modern standard), and Edrick (alternative spelling). Short forms: Ed, Eddie, Rick. Rare feminine counterpart: Edrica. The name also underlies rare surnames such as Edrich.
