Help[Facts] Re: Edrit//Etrit/Atrit (m) (Medieval English name of Anglo-saxon origin)
in reply to a message by (Is-rah-el) Israelle
Yes, it’s likely that the name is made up of ed (meaning 'wealth' or 'fortune') and ric (meaning 'ruler' or 'power'). So, the name could mean something like 'wealthy ruler' or 'prosperous ruler.'
This combination of elements is common in Anglo-Saxon names, like Eadric ('happy ruler') or Alaric ('all-powerful ruler'). Even though we don’t find Edrit or Etrit in many records, the structure fits well with the naming patterns of the time, so it seems like a good guess that it comes from these elements.
