Fredrick

Fredrick is a masculine name of German origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'frid' meaning 'peace' and 'ric' meaning 'ruler' or 'power'.

The name can be traced back to the Old High German name 'Fridurih', which evolved into the modern German 'Friedrich' and the English variant 'Frederick'.

While the name has been popular in English-speaking countries for centuries, it rose to particular prominence in the Middle Ages, with several German kings and princes bearing the name.

Today, Fredrick remains a widely used name, particularly in the United States and other English-speaking countries. It is often chosen for its strong, masculine sound and its appealing meaning of 'peaceful ruler'.
