Theodoric Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Old German Thiudoricus, compound of theuda ‘folk’, ‘people’, and ricja ‘rule’. There was a corresponding Old English name Theodric. It appears in Domesday Book as Teodric, Theodric, Tedric. The usual Middle English form was Terry from Old French Thierry, or Terrick; hence the surnames Terry, Terrey, Terick, Terrick. C. W. Bardsley, Dictionary of English and WelshSurnames (pub. 1901) gives an example of Terye as a christian name as late as 1629. Theodoric was occasionally revived in the 18th C. Terry has been used as a christian name in recent times, but apparently always with reference to the surname. See further under Derek.
Teodric, Theodric, Tedric Domesday Book 1086. Tericus Curia Regis Rolls 1199. Terry Hundred Rolls 1273. Terricus Hundred Rolls 1273, Testa de Neville, or Book of Fees, temp. Hen. III-Edw. I 13th C.
Often contracted to THEODRIC. In Teutonic, ‘people’s rule’: therefore not to be confused with the ‘gift’ names in Theo-. Once it was a notability among ‘Christians’, but its very sonority has led to its present decrepitude.
It has been translated ‘Dei contemplator sive divinorum speculator.’ It is an old German name, from teut-reich, powerful lord, from teut lord, leader, prince (from deuten to rule, from deut, teut, the people), and reich. The nickname is Derrick.
