Edrick is a name of French origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'ead' meaning wealthy and 'ric' meaning power. It was historically used as a nickname for someone who owned much livestock. The name gained popularity in England during the Middle Ages but has since become quite rare. Edrick is also associated with the Norman French surname de Richemont, which means 'from Richmont'. Today, it's considered a unique and distinctive choice for a first name.
Over the span of nearly a century, from 1936 to 2023, the name Edrick has seen a total of 1885 births. The number of annual births fluctuated significantly during this period. In the early years, there were only a handful of births each year, with the first peak occurring in the late 1950s and early 1960s, reaching as high as 23 births in 1972. The name's popularity then seemed to decline slightly until another significant spike occurred around the mid-1980s to early 1990s, with a peak of 44 births in 1975 and 46 births in 2015. However, the most remarkable surge happened very recently, with 112 births recorded in 2018, followed by a drop to 94 births in 2019 and 70 births in 2020, indicating that while Edrick may be currently popular, its trend is not consistent year over year. The most recent data shows 47 births in 2021, 48 in 2022, and a significant increase to 85 births in 2023, suggesting the name's popularity may be on the rise again.
