Meaning & origin
Andric is a modern, rare name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1999. Unlike many contemporary coinages, it has shown remarkable stability in usage, with its peak year in 2018. The name has never ranked among the top 1,000, making it an uncommon choice that blends the familiarity of Andrew with a distinctive -ric ending. Its trajectory suggests a steadily niche appeal, without dramatic swings.
Andric is a modern variant of Andrew, ultimately from the Greek Andreas, meaning 'manly' or 'brave.' The -ric suffix is likely inspired by Germanic names like Alaric or Theodoric, meaning 'ruler.' It first appeared in U.S. records in 1999 and has seen modest, stable usage.
