Keddric is English in Origin.

Keddric is a modern American variant of Kendrick/Kedrick, likely shaped by consonant doubling for a distinctive look. Its deeper roots point to Old English Cyneric (cyne “royal” + ric “power, ruler”), giving the sense “royal power” or “ruler.” Another plausible source is Old Welsh Cynwrig, often interpreted as “chief champion.” Some Kendrick surname lines have also been linked to Gaelic Mac Eanraig, “son of Henry,” tying the name to the medieval given name Henry.

Kendrick appears in medieval Britain as both personal name and surname and has enjoyed steady use in the English-speaking world since the 19th century, while Keddric is rare and largely late-20th-century in the United States. Variant forms and near-relations include Kendrick, Kendric, Kenrick, Kenric, Kedrick, Kedric, Keddrick/Keddrick, and the stylistically similar but distinct Cedric. Depending on the root invoked, Keddric conveys “royal ruler” or “great champion.”
