Oldrich is Czech in Origin.
Oldrich is the Czech form (spelled Oldřich in Czech) of the Old High German name Uodalrich, from uodal “ancestral estate, heritage” and rīhhi “ruler, powerful,” giving the sense “ruler of the ancestral domain” or “rich in heritage and power.” The name entered the Bohemian onomastic stock in the early Middle Ages through Germanic influence and became firmly naturalized.
Usage is anchored by Duke Oldřich of Bohemia (d. 1034) of the Přemyslid line, and it resurfaced with Czech national revivalists, peaking in the early-to-mid 20th century; today it reads as classic, slightly rare. Notable bearers include actor Oldřich Nový, football legend Oldřich Nejedlý, and artist Oldřich Kulhánek. Variants and cognates include Ulrich/Ullrich (German), Ulric (English/French), Ulrik (Scandinavian), Ulderico (Italian), and Ulryk (Polish). The diacritic-free Oldrich is used in international contexts. Common Czech diminutives are Olda and Oldík.
