History & Origin

Zedrick is a modern American coinage. It leans on Cedric — invented by Sir Walter Scott for Ivanhoe, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Cerdic — and on the -rick names such as Derrick and Kendrick, whose ending goes back to a Germanic word for 'ruler'. Zedrick itself has no documented root, so we note the routes as uncertain (said 'ZED-rik').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, coined, and solid-sounding.

Did you know? The -rick ending in Zedrick echoes Derrick and Kendrick, while the front of the name comes from Cedric — a name that a novelist, Sir Walter Scott, seems to have made up.
