Fredricka

Meaning of Fredricka

Fredricka is a feminine given name of Germanic origin, formed as the female counterpart to Frederick and ultimately derived from the Proto-Germanic elements frid (“peace”) and ric (“ruler”). Historically borne by European royals—most notably Fredericka of Brandenburg—it conveys an analytical blend of authority and tranquility. Entering American records in the late nineteenth century, Fredricka reached its highest position at rank 357 in 1905 before a steady decline that placed it at rank 983 with only five occurrences in 2007. Pronounced fred-RIK-ə (/fɾɛˈdɹɪkə/), its structured phonetics offer technical precision, while its rarity ensures a quietly distinctive quality for parents seeking a classical yet reserved choice.
