Ullrich Origin and Meaning

The name Ullrich is a boy's name of German origin.

Ullrich is a masculine name of German origin, derived from the Old High German elements 'uodal' meaning 'heritage' or 'homeland' and 'rihhi' meaning 'ruler' or 'powerful.' It's essentially a variant spelling of Ulrich, which was popularized by several medieval saints and nobility throughout German-speaking regions. While not common in English-speaking countries, Ullrich maintains steady usage in Germany and other German-speaking areas. The name carries connotations of heritage, strength, and leadership. Notable bearers include German cyclists Jan Ullrich and various individuals in academic and business fields. The spelling with double 'l' distinguishes it slightly from the more common Ulrich form.
