Keric is of Welsh origin and means "speckled". It is derived from the Welsh word "ceredigion", which refers to a region in West Wales known for its scenic beauty, including the Cardigan Bay coastline. Keric was likely used as a given name among Welsh families living in that area during medieval times. Today, it remains relatively uncommon, offering a unique and distinctive choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Keric experienced a rise and fall in popularity over the decades, with peaks occurring in the late 1990s to early 2000s, but no consistent trend throughout the periods given.
