Derived from the Old Norse 'Þórðrík', meaning 'powerful ruler', Dettrick is a rare and distinctive given name of Scandinavian origin. It was borne by a 12th-century king of Norway, King Dætric Atterdag, who unified Norway after years of civil war. The name combines the elements 'þór' (Thor, the god of thunder) and 'rík' (power, rule). Dettrick is not among the most common names today, but it offers a unique blend of history and strength.
"Dettrick is quite rare, with only five babies named so between 2000 and present."
