Osrick Origin and Meaning

The name Osrick is a boy's name.

Osrick is a masculine name of Germanic and Old English origin. It combines elements meaning 'god' or 'divine' (os) and 'ruler' or 'power' (rick), thus signifying 'divine ruler' or 'god-king.' The name appears notably in Shakespeare's tragedy 'Hamlet' as a courtier, lending it literary significance. Osrick remains extremely rare in modern usage, appealing primarily to parents drawn to ancient Germanic names or Shakespearean references. Its distinguished sound and historical depth offer a distinctive option for those seeking a name with both gravitas and uncommon status. The name may be considered alongside other Old English revivals like Aldric or Oswald.
