Kedric Origin and Meaning

The name Kedric is a boy's name meaning "loved or royal power".

Also spelled Kedrick, this name has a double origin as either a variant of the surname name Kendrick, or a spelling spin on the literary Cedric, used by Sir Walter Scott for a character in his 1819 novel Ivanhoe. He likely based it on the legendary name Cerdic, which may be a contracted form of Caractacus. American football player Kedric Golston is a notable bearer.
