Roderic is a name of Germanic origin, derived from the elements hrod 'fame' and ric 'power'. It was borne by several historical figures, most notably Saint Roderic, who was a 7th-century bishop of Seville in Spain. The name has been used throughout history, but it remains relatively uncommon today, lending it a distinctive and unique character. The variants Rodéric and Roderich offer further options for those drawn to this name's strong and regal sound.
"Roderic experienced a significant surge in popularity during the mid-20th century, with over 50 births each year between 1945 and 1967, peaking at 68 births in 1965. However, it has since declined drastically, falling to single digits annually from 1981 onwards."
