History & Origin

Ericha is a creative spelling of Erica, feminine of Eric (Old Norse 'ever-ruler') and also the botanical word for heather. The 'ch' is a late-twentieth-century touch on a name that peaked with the wider Erica boom.

It was never common in this spelling, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1988, while Erica itself was popular. A girl named Ericha reads as an eighties twist on a favorite.

Did you know? Erica doubles as the Latin name for heather, the hardy flowering shrub of moors and highlands - so the name quietly carries both a regal 'ruler' sense and a wild, flowering one.
