Kedric is a boy’s name of Old English origin. It’s a variant of the name Cedric, meaning “kindly and loved.” What more could you want for your little one than a kind personality and lots of love? The name Cedric was coined by Sir Walter Scott in 1819 for a character in his book Ivanhoe. It was probably inspired by Cerdic, an Anglo-Saxon who was the first King of Wessex. Kedric offers an interesting, more modern-sounding alternative to that classic name.
