When my wife and I discovered we were expecting our first son, we picked several names. The one we finally settled on was Aeric. I'm not sure where I saw the name before, but someone had told me it was Gaelic and that the Ae were all one letter called an ashe and when properly pronounced it was Ahr-ic.Since then I have been searching the net for the meaning of the name and have not had any luck. If anyone can find solid evidence of its meaning, please post a link? I would forever be grateful.

I've heard this is an old German form of Richard. It is also my brother's name and I absolutely love it. My parents liked the name Eric but everyone they knew who spelled it with an e was a jerk. Changing it didn't work.
