Ha! Ellis Island, home of garbled names. There is a Norwegian surname, Nordrik, with 23 bearers according to the same database. As the first component, nord, means "north" it looks like a place name, but I haven't found a place called Nordrik. Rik means "rich", but "north-rich" doesn't make much sense. There is a forum where you can post queries about Norden names -
