Erico
Erico Origin and Meaning
Erico is a masculine name with multicultural origins. It appears to be a variation of Eric or Erik, which derives from Old Norse elements meaning 'eternal ruler' or 'ever powerful.' The '-o' ending gives the name a distinct Latin or Mediterranean flair, making it particularly appealing in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Japanese contexts. In Japan, Erico would be an alternative romanization of Eriko, though typically used for females there. The name combines strength and authority from its Norse origins with a melodic quality from its Latin-influenced ending. While not widely common in English-speaking countries, Erico enjoys some popularity in Southern Europe and Latin America. This distinctive variation offers an international feel while maintaining connections to the familiar and historically significant name Eric.
