Fredericka is an uncommon feminine given name of German origin. It is a variant spelling of the name Friederike, which itself is derived from the German elements 'fried' meaning peaceful and 'ric' meaning power or mighty. Fredericka was popular in Germany during the 18th century but has since fallen out of common use. Today, it is rarely encountered, making it a unique choice for parents looking for an unusual name for their daughter.
The name Fredericka has had a varied history in popularity over the years. From 1881 to 1939, there were periods of relative consistency with around 10-20 births per year. However, starting from 1940, the number of births began to fluctuate more significantly, ranging from as low as 6 in 2000 to a peak of 40 in 1947. The total number of births recorded over this entire period is 1957.
