When Cedric gains an -a, it becomes Cedrica, an enchanting feminine name. First appearing in literature in the 1800s, Cedric has a medieval sound to it that Cedrica shares. Though their exact origins are unknown, Cedrica and Cedric are believed to stem from the Old Celtic language. From the root karu, meaning "to love," Cedrica translates to "loved" or "beloved." Other sources link Cedrica to Cedrych, a Welsh title meaning "spectacular bounty." If your little one has an abundance of cuddles to give and an endless amount of love to share, this moniker will be just right for them.
