Fredrich

US Popularity Rank: 11094

Origin: German

Meaning: Peaceful ruler

Fredrich is a boy’s name of German origin. Flowing from the Old German elements fridu and rih, it translates to “peaceful ruler." Its connections to the monarchy aren't only in its meanings, though, as it also follows a long line of similar-sounding names that have been carried by the kings of Austria, Scandinavia, and Germany. It’s pretty close to Friedrich, too, most widely known for a 19th-century thinker surnamed Nietzsche. With any luck, your little Fredrich won’t need the extra “I” to ascend to a throne of their own!
