Ericca

Ericca is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Erica, which derives from the Norse/Old Norse name Erik, meaning 'eternal ruler' or 'ever powerful.' This alternative spelling emerged primarily in the latter half of the 20th century in the United States, when personalizing traditional names with unique spellings became increasingly popular. The double 'c' gives the name a distinctive visual appearance while maintaining the original pronunciation. Ericca peaked in usage during the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with the popularity of the more standard Erica. The name offers a blend of familiarity and individuality—recognizable to most people but with a personalized touch. While less common than the standard spelling, Ericca appeals to parents seeking names that stand out subtly without completely departing from tradition.

Pronounced eh-RIK-uh.

As of October 2026, Ericca ranked #17378 in US births in 2013 SSA, peaked at #3122 in 1989.
