      English

      Meaning

      Kindly And Loved Protector

      Variations

      Kedrick, Cedric, Edrich
      The name Kedric is of English origin, derived from the Old English elements cyda, meaning kindly or beloved, and ric, meaning protector or ruler. Together, these components convey the meaning kindly and loved protector. This name embodies qualities of compassion, guardianship, and strength, making it a fitting choice for those who value these characteristics.
