Information about Theodoric

Theodoric is a Germanic given name frequently encountered in early medieval European history. Variant spellings include forms such as Theoderic, Theudoric, Theuderic, or Theuderich. It derives from the Gothic name Thiudreiks, which is comprised of the Germanic components şeud ("people") and ric ("power" or "ruler").

The German language form of the name is Dietrich; the English, Derek; the Dutch, Dirk, Diederik, or Dierik. In Romance languages, the French form is Thierry; the Italian and Spanish, Teodorico or Teodoro. The name of the English Tudor royal dynasty is derived from the Welsh Tudur, which is in turn probably derived from the Celtic Teutorigos, which is cognate with Theodoric and carries much the same meaning.

The name is not to be confused with Theodore, derived from the Greek Θεοδωρος (Theodoros), meaning 'Gift from God'.

Well-known bearers of the name Theodoric include:
