Meaning & History
The meaning and origin of the first element is rather uncertain: we know that it comes from eutha, but we don't exactly know where eutha itself comes from. But there are a few possibilities. It might come from Old Norse jôdh "child" or from ehva "horse." The element might also be related to the first element of Jorunn. The second element in the name comes from rîcja "powerful, strong, mighty." The second element is also closely related to Celtic rîg or rix and Gothic reiks, which all mean "king, ruler." Eutharic was the name of the husband of Amalaswintha, daughter of Theodoric the Great (king of the Ostrogoths).
