History & Origin

Aricka is a variant spelling of Erica or Ericka, the feminine form of Eric, which comes from the Old Norse Eirikr, meaning ever-ruler or eternal ruler. Erica also doubles as the Latin word for heather. Erica names were popular through the later twentieth century, and creative spellings like Aricka, with an A start and a ck, appear in United States records in the nineteen-nineties.

It stayed rare in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high, so an Aricka from then would be in her thirties today. The standard Erica and Erika remain far more familiar, but Aricka carries the same ever-ruler meaning.

Did you know? Aricka traces to Erica, the feminine of the Norse Eric, meaning ever-ruler, a name also shared with the heather plant in Latin.
