Orric is in Origin.

Orric is a modern English given name most often treated as a streamlined blend on the Germanic -ric names, where ric means "power, ruler." Its shape invites comparison with Ulric/Ulrich, Alaric, and Eric, and some bearers reach it via the English surname Orrick/Oric. Because those surnames sometimes derive from place-names, the opening Or- may be ornamental rather than etymological. As a first name, Orric surfaces only sporadically in Britain and North America from the late 20th century, appealing for its sleek, antique-meets-modern profile.

Variants include Orrick, Oric, Orick, Orik, and Orrik; short forms Ori and Rick occur. Cognate relatives are Ulric, Alaric, Roderick, and Eric. Meaning is usually given as "ruler; power," by reference to the Germanic element, though a surname route can point to Old English ora “bank” + wic “settlement.” Pronounced OR-ik.
