History & Origin

Tedric is a made name that fuses the friendly Ted with the courtly -ric ending of Cedric. It reflects a late-century American habit of building fresh boys' names from a nickname and a fashionable suffix.

It was consistently rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 1991 and never spreading widely. A boy named Tedric would be a young adult of the millennial generation today.

Did you know? Tedric rides the same -ric fashion that lifted Cedric, Kendric, and Deric, a Germanic ending that means 'ruler' and lends coined names an heirloom sound.
