Ulrica
About Ulrica
Ulrica has an Old World sound, but is perhaps enough like Erika and Annika that it could work today. Also spelled Ulrika, it was borne by a 18th century Swedish queen and Olympic ice hockey player, Ulrica Lindström.
The meaning of the name is slightly debated, with some sources suggesting it derived from Wulfric, meaning "wolf ruler", while other believe it comes from Ulrich, meaning "rich, noble and royal heritage".
Pronounced ul-REE-kuh.
As of October 2026, Ulrica ranked #11903 in US births in 1979 SSA, peaked at #5431 in 1967.
