Tadric is a modern English given name likely formed by combining the nickname Tad with the Germanic -ric/-rick element ("ruler, power"), aligning it with the Theodoric/Dietrich family of names meaning "ruler of the people." It can also be read as a rare variant of Tedric, itself from Old High German Theudoric (theud "people" + rihhi "rule"). The name has no established medieval record but surfaces sporadically in late 20th- and 21st-century usage, prized for its brisk, two-syllable punch and familiar short form Tad.

Variants include Tadrick, Tadrik, Tadrek, and Tedric; related forms and cognates are Derek, Derrick, Dietrich, Thierry, Terry, and Roderick. Nicknames include Tad, Taddy, and Rick. The prevailing interpretation is "people's ruler" or "ruler among the people." Because of its invented-yet-anchored feel, Tadric suits parents seeking a distinctive alternative to Cedric or Roderick with a traditional Germanic meaning.
