Derick

Derick is a masculine given name. It is a variant spelling of Derek or Derrick and is used primarily in English-speaking countries.

The name derives from the Germanic given name Theodoric, meaning "ruler of the people." Over time, Derek, Derrick, and related spellings developed as English forms, with Derick appearing as an alternative.

Common spellings include Derick, Derrick, Deric, Derik, and Derrik. While primarily a given name, Derick can rarely occur as a surname.

Usage patterns vary by region; the name rose in popularity in the United States and other Anglophone countries during the late 20th century and remains in occasional use today.
