Edrich is English in Origin.

Edrich is an English given name and surname with deep Old English roots. It derives from Eadric (ēad “wealth, prosperity” + rīc “ruler, power”), yielding the meaning “prosperous ruler” or “wealthy leader.” The -rich spelling mirrors the Germanic -rich/-rik element found across medieval names, linking Edrich to the broader family of names built on rīc, such as Aldrich and Ulrich, while remaining closest to Edric/Eadric in sense.

Use of Edrich as a first name is rare and modern, often adopted from the longstanding English surname. The name Eadric/Edric was common in Anglo‑Saxon England - borne by figures like Eadric Streona and Eadric the Wild - before fading after the Norman Conquest. Variant forms include Edric, Edrick, Edrik, Eadric, and Edryk; short forms include Ed and Rick/Rik. As a surname, Edrich has sporting resonance in Britain through several noted 20th‑century cricketers, which lends the given name a brisk, traditional yet distinctive profile.
