How to Pronounce Chaddrick
Pronounced CHAD-rick /ˈtʃæd.rɪk/Medium
Meaning: Chaddrick lengthens the short name Chad, which comes from the Old English saint's name Ceadda and is often felt as a clip of Cedric. The added -rick borrows the ending of Cedric and Roderick, giving the plain Chad a fuller, more formal shape. It is a modern American coinage.Low

History & Origin
Chaddrick is a modern American elaboration of Chad, a name that traces back to the Old English Ceadda, borne by a seventh-century English saint, and often heard as a short form of Cedric. Adding the -rick ending, familiar from Cedric and Roderick, turns the one-beat Chad into a two-beat given name. It shows up on United States birth records from the early nineteen-seventies onward.
It never caught on widely, given to only a couple dozen boys a year even at its high around nineteen-ninety, so a boy named Chaddrick then would be in his thirties today. It reads as a name of its moment rather than a comeback candidate; the plain Chad remains far more common.
