Meaning: (Eternal Ruler, Forever or
Alone, Ruler, The original form is Erik, which has been borne by nine Danish
Kings. Scandinavian legend relates that the Viking sea rover Ericson (son of
Eric the Red) landed on the shores of America 500 years before
Christopher Columbus. The name was not widely used among English speaking
people until 19th Century British fiction writers Frederic Farrar
(in “Eric”, or “Little by Little”) and H. Rider Haggard (in “Eric Brighteyes”)
used it in popular literature. Eriq is the French spelling; Erich is a popular
German form.)
Origin: (Old Norse)
Pronunciation: (AIR-ik)
Gender: Male
This is a common male name but
seems to be a name that is used more than once as the name of a prince in a
fairy tale or modern variants of fairy tales. I sort of like the original form
Erik a bit more I don’t know why the change of a letter matters. Whereas I
prefer Aeric / Aerick / Aerric for a sci-fi / fantasy based novel. It has a
very unique out of this world look.
