Shadrick is a boy’s name of Babylonian origin. It’s a variant of Shadrach, which means “command of Aku” and refers to the Babylonian god of the moon. Shadrach appears in the Bible’s Book of Daniel as one of three Hebrew boys thrown into a furnace for rebelling against the King of Babylon. However, God rewards them for their faith and courage by delivering them from the flames. Giving baby a name like Shadrick is sure to always remind them to stay true to their beliefs in the face of adversity.
