Erick

Erick is an English given name derived from 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 reached England through Scandinavian influence during the Viking Age and was further reinforced by Norman settlers after 1066. It has been borne by numerous Scandinavian kings, most notably Erik the Red, the Norse explorer credited with settling Greenland. Erick is a variant spelling of Eric, with related forms including Erik, Erich, and Eirik found across European traditions.
