Meaning & History
This name might be derived from Gothic kara "worry" combined with rîcja "powerful, strong, mighty." (The second element is also closely related to Celtic rîg or rix and Gothic reiks, which all mean "king, ruler.") But it is probably a form of either Hariric or Gararic. Carriaric was the name of a 6th-century king of Galicia.
