According to Hanks & Hodges, the two-t variety -- "Ettriche" (or "Ettrick") -- is also a form of "Edrich". Also the names "Etridge" and "Ettridge" springs from the same source.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that your father's name means: "prosperity + power".

Thank you! Is there any way I can find out if anyone else has ever used that name?

Go to this search engine: www.google.com

Type in the name: Etrick

Most of the sites that will be pulled up will be for people with the surname of Etrick, but I believe there are a few first-name Etrick's to be found, as well.

If you're not shy about meeting new people, I would suggest you take advantage of any Etrick e-mail addies that you find this way, and drop those Etricks a line and see what you get back.

Good luck!
