Cederic Origin and Meaning

The name Cederic is a boy's name.

Cederic is a variant spelling of the name Cedric, which has Anglo-Saxon origins from the name Cerdic, a 6th-century Saxon king and founder of the Kingdom of Wessex. The name gained popularity through Sir Walter Scott's novel 'Ivanhoe' (1819), where Cedric was a noble Saxon character. Cederic conveys qualities of kindness, wisdom, and leadership. While less common than the standard spelling Cedric, this variation maintains the original name's dignified and classic appeal. As a masculine name, Cederic projects strength and nobility while remaining distinctive. The name has never reached high popularity charts, making it an uncommon choice that stands out while still being recognizable.
