Frederik is a masculine name of German origin that stems from the Old German monikers Friedrich or Friederich. It is composed of the elements fridu, meaning “peace,” and rîhhi, meaning “ruler” or “power,” giving Frederik the definition of “peaceful ruler.” It gives off a sense of regality and could be considered quite a classic choice, as it has been around for centuries. Frederik leaves lots of room for charming nicknames such as Fred, Freddie, or Rick, so baby can truly make the moniker their own.
