Sedrick

Sedrick is a given name, typically used as a masculine name. It is considered a variant of the name Cedric.

Origin and Meaning:

The exact origin and meaning of Sedrick are somewhat debated, but it is most commonly understood to be a variant or derivative of Cedric. Cedric is often attributed to Sir Walter Scott, who used the name in his novel Ivanhoe (1819). While Scott claimed to have taken the name from history, it is possible he invented it or adapted it from another name, potentially the Welsh name Cedrych, or the Old English name Cerdic. As such, Sedrick carries similar connotations as Cedric. Meanings attributed to Cedric include "chieftain," "kindly," "bounty," and "battle ruler," depending on the etymological theory. Sedrick, as a variant, inherits these possible meanings.
