Frederich
Frederich Origin and Meaning
Frederich is a masculine name of Germanic origin, representing a less common spelling variation of Frederick, which means 'peaceful ruler' or 'ruler of peace' from the elements 'frid' (peace) and 'ric' (ruler, power). This spelling with an 'h' ending instead of 'k' reflects continental European, particularly German, influence. Throughout history, the name has been borne by numerous monarchs, including Frederick the Great of Prussia, lending it an air of nobility and historical significance. While less popular than Frederick in English-speaking countries, Frederich maintains appeal for parents seeking a dignified, traditional name with international flair. The name suggests strength of character combined with wisdom and has maintained steady, though modest, usage over generations.
