Eerik is the Finnish and Estonian form of the Old Norse name Eiríkr, composed of the elements ei, meaning ever or always, and ríkr, meaning ruler or king, giving the overall sense of eternal ruler. The name was borne by several medieval Scandinavian kings and became firmly established across the Nordic and Baltic regions. Related forms include Erik, Eric, Erich, and the Old Norse Eiríkr from which all these variants descend.
