Urich

Urich is a surname of Germanic origin, a variant spelling of Ulrich. The name is found in the United States and parts of Europe, and, like Ulrich, traces back to a Germanic given name.

The given name Ulrich derives from Old High German forms such as Odalrich, built from elements interpreted as wealth or prosperity and ruler or power. The spelling Urich reflects phonetic variation that arose through regional pronunciation and immigration.

Usage and distribution: Urich is relatively uncommon as a surname today. It appears in genealogical records and public datasets, often among families with German heritage. Variants include Ulrich, Ulric, and other spellings; Urich is sometimes listed as a separate surname in modern registries.

Notable people: Robert Urich (1946–2002) was an American actor known for leading roles on television, including Vega$ (1978–1981) and Spenser: For Hire (1985–1988).
