Jedric is English in Origin.

Jedric is a modern English given name, often interpreted as a blend of Jed - the familiar short form of the Hebrew Jedidiah, meaning “beloved of the Lord” - and the Germanic element -ric, from Old English/Old High German ric/rihhi, meaning “ruler, power.” It is also sometimes treated as a spelling variant of Jedrik or Jedrick, names influenced by Polish Jedrek, a diminutive of Andrzej (Andrew), from Greek Andreas, “manly, courageous.” These strands yield readings such as “beloved ruler,” “powerful beloved,” or “manly ruler.”

Usage is rare but visible in late 20th- and early 21st-century English-speaking contexts, appreciated for its crisp, contemporary sound alongside longer -ric names. Variant forms include Jedrick, Jedrik, and Jedrek; related names sharing the -ric element are Cedric, Eric, and Roderick. Common nicknames are Jed, Jedd, and Rick. The name is typically masculine and pronounced JED-rik.
