Frederic Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. (Latin Fredericus, German Friedrich, Fritz, French Frédéric, Italian Federigo)Old German Frithuric, compound of frithu ‘peace’ and ricja ‘rule’. There was a corresponding, rather rare, Old English name Freodhoric which is probably behind the Fredericus who appears in Domesday Book as a tenant Tempore Regis Edwardi (In the Reign of Edward the Confessor). The medieval French form Frery or Ferry is occasionally found in the 12th C, but there is little trace of the name from the end of the 12th C until the 17th C. Camden 1605 says: ‘For Frideric the English have commonly used Frery and Fery which hath been now a long time a christian name in the ancient family of Tilney, and lucky to their house as they report.’ The real acclimatization dates from the 18th C, when the Hanoverians brought it in, e.g. Frederick Prince of Wales, s. of George II. It very soon gained a firm footing and has for some 200 years been one of the commonest English men’s names. It is usually shortened, in use, to Fred or Freddy.
A variant of Frederick.
Teutonic (masculine) - Peaceful ruler.
