Federica is Italian in Origin.
Federica is the Italian and Spanish feminine form of Federico/Frederick, built from the Germanic elements frid “peace” and ric “ruler, power,” yielding the meaning “peaceful ruler” or “one who rules through peace.” The prestige of medieval rulers and saints named Frederick - especially Holy Roman Emperors - spread the root across Europe; feminine forms developed later, with Federica settling as a distinct, elegant choice in Italy.
Use expanded markedly in Italy during the 20th century, peaking from the late 1970s to 1990s, and the name remains familiar in Spain and parts of Latin America. International counterparts include Frederica (English, Portuguese), Frédérique (French), Friederike (German), Frederikke (Danish/Norwegian), Frederieke (Dutch), and Frederika/Frederica in Central and Eastern Europe. Short forms and nicknames include Fede and Rica/Rika; related masculine forms are Federico/Frederick. Across languages, the core sense endures: a leader whose strength brings peace.
