Kedrik is English in Origin.

Kedrik is a modern English given name, most likely a streamlined variant of Kedrick/Kendrick and influenced by Cedric. Through the Kendrick route it traces to Old English Cyneric (cyne 'royal' + ric 'power, rule'), yielding the meaning 'royal ruler' or 'royal power.' The Cedric connection goes back to Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (1819), where the author popularized Cedric from the Anglo-Saxon royal name Cerdic; that form is ultimately linked to early medieval Britain and may have Brittonic roots.

Usage of Kedrik is rare, appearing sporadically in late 20th- and early 21st-century records as part of the trend toward fresh spellings of familiar names. Variants and related forms include Kedrick, Kedric, Kendrick, Kenrick, Cedric, Cederick, and Keldrick; short forms such as Ked, Ken, and Rik/Rick are plausible. Parents who choose Kedrik often cite its crisp look and heritage-rich meaning, combining the literary cachet of Cedric with the dignified, kingly sense of Kendrick.
