Meaning & origin
Zedrick is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1955. It reached its peak rank of 6,446 in 2025, with an estimated 1 in 131,390 boys receiving the name that year. After a period of relative obscurity, its usage has been rising since 2019. While not currently associated with any particular U.S. states, the name's sound aligns with contemporary trends favoring distinctive Z-initial names. Zedrick remains a rare choice, offering a fresh alternative to more common names like Cedric or Derek.
Zedrick is likely a 20th-century invented name, possibly formed by replacing the initial C of Cedric with Z for a more distinctive sound. Cedric itself was coined by Sir Walter Scott for his novel Ivanhoe (1819), ultimately derived from the Old English name Cerdic. Zedrick has seen sporadic use in the United States since the mid-1900s.
