sedric is English in Origin.

Sedric is a modern respelling of Cedric, the literary forename introduced by Sir Walter Scott in Ivanhoe (1819). Scott likely adapted the Anglo-Saxon royal name Cerdic - borne by the 6th-century founder of Wessex - which itself may be Brittonic in origin. Because Cedric began as a literary creation rather than a direct Old English form, its exact meaning is uncertain; some scholars connect it to Welsh Ceredig “beloved,” while others note only its historical associations.

In use, Cedric entered English-speaking naming in the 19th century and grew through the 20th; French Cédric became a staple from the 1960s. Sedric, Sedrick, and Sedrik are late-20th-century spellings, far rarer than Cedric/Cédric. Other variants include Cedrick and Kedrick. The name has appeared across sports and music, lending contemporary visibility. Today Sedric sees modest but steady use, chosen by parents who want the classic Cedric line with a distinctive, streamlined S-opening.
