Medric is Germanic in Origin.
Medric is an English adaptation of the French given name Médéric (Latin Medericus), a Frankish-Germanic dithematic name. It was borne by a 7th-century abbot of Paris revered as Saint Médéric, whose cult gave rise to the church of Saint-Merri and kept the name in medieval Île-de-France. Usage later waned, with modest revivals in 19th-century France and French Canada; the unaccented form Medric is found in North American records.
Formed with the Germanic element -ric meaning ruler or power, its first element is debated: some derive it from a root meaning meed, merit, or reward, others from fame (meri-). The name is thus interpreted as ruler by merit or famous/powerful ruler. Variants and related forms include Médéric/Mederic (French), Medrick (English), and the medieval hypocoristics Merry and Méry; short forms Med and Rick are used informally.
