The story behind Theoderic
From Late Latin Theodericus, Theodoricus, from a Germanic origin, likely via Gothic *𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐍃 (*þiudareiks) from Proto-Germanic *Þeudōrīks, from *þeudō (“people”) + *rīks (“king”); thus cognate with German Dietrich. Etymologically unrelated to English Theodore from Koine Greek Θεόδωρος (Theódōros, “Theodore”, literally “gift of God”), although medieval conflation of the Germanic and Hellenic names may have given rise to variant spelling Theodoric.
