Meaning: Its source is ead ric, an Ancient Germanic name meaning "Wealth ruler."

Narrative: This meaning is based on the theory that Nedrick is a combination of two Ancient Germanic elements found in more familiar names.

First, Ned- may be derived from ead, meaning ''wealth,'' as it is found in the first syllable of Edward. Secondly, -rick may be derived from ric, meaning ''ruler,'' also found at the end of Frederick and at the beginning of Richard.
