History & Origin
Chadric joins Chad, the name of a seventh-century English saint and probably rooted in 'battle,' to the -ric of Cedric and Roderick, 'ruler.' The result is a modern coinage that gives the short, plain Chad a longer, medieval-sounding form.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 1979. A man named Chadric then is in his forties today, a rare elaboration of the once-popular Chad.
