Meaning & origin
Fredick is a rarely used variant of Frederick that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1916. The name reached its peak popularity in 1936, during the same decade when many classic names were common. In the 1930s decade, Fredick was recorded a handful of times, but never entered the national rankings. Its usage has remained stable at very low levels since then, with no significant revival. The name has not been recorded in any particular state with notable frequency, suggesting its use is scattered across the country. For parents considering Fredick, it offers a familiar yet distinctive sound, closely tied to the more common Frederick.
Fredick is a modern spelling variant of Frederick, derived from the Old German name Frithuric, composed of frithu 'peace' and rik 'ruler'. This spelling has seen sporadic use in the United States since the early 20th century, likely as a simplified or phonetic form.
