Kendric is English in Origin.
Kendric is a modern streamlined spelling of Kendrick, a surname-turned-given name with layered Celtic and Anglo-Saxon roots. As a Welsh name, it echoes Cynwrig (cyn ‘chief’ + gwrig ‘man, hero’), yielding senses like “chief hero” or “great champion.” Through Old English Cyneric (cyne ‘royal’ + ric ‘power, rule’), it also carries the idea of “royal power” or “kingly ruler.”
Used as a given name in Britain and the United States since the 19th century, Kendric remains rarer than the Kendrick spelling but benefits from the surname style popular in modern naming. Its uptake has been modest, with periodic bumps alongside the visibility of Kendrick as a cultural surname. Variant forms include Kendrick, Kendrik, Kendryck, Kenrick, and Kendricke; short forms Ken, Kenny, and Rick are common nicknames.
