Adric
Meaning of Adric
Adric, pronounced AY-drik, is a masculine name that blends Old High German elements—ald, “old,” and ric, “ruler”—with a subtle echo of the Latin cognomen Hadrianus. Its modern usage was popularized in the 1980s by a character of the same name in the British science-fiction series Doctor Who, lending it associations with intellect and analytical skill. In the United States, Adric has remained rare but steady on the newborn charts, ranking 915th in 2023 with 14 recorded births, and fluctuating between the mid-800s and mid-900s over the past four decades.
