Cedric

Cedric is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin, derived from the Old English words 'cēd' meaning 'bounty' or 'power' and 'rīc' meaning 'ruler' or 'leader.'

It was a popular name among the Anglo-Saxon nobility and was borne by several notable figures in English history, including Cedric the Saxon, a character in Sir Walter Scott's novel 'Ivanhoe.'

The name has been in use since the Middle Ages and has remained a relatively popular choice for baby boys in various English-speaking countries.

While Cedric is predominantly a masculine name, it has occasionally been used as a feminine name as well, though less commonly.
