Meaning & History

Derived from Old High German êra "honour, respect" combined with rîcja "powerful, strong, mighty." The second element is also closely related to Celtic rîg or rix and Gothic reiks, which all mean "king, ruler." Eraric was the name of a king of the Ostrogoths who had gotten to reign only briefly; he was murdered a few months after being crowned king in 541 AD.
