Comments (Meaning / History Only)

Derived from Old High German walah "wanderer, traveller, foreigner" combined with rîcja "powerful, strong, mighty" (making it a cognate of Walherich). The second element is also closely related to Celtic rîg or rix and Gothic reiks, which all mean "king, ruler."(Information from name #12284 originally submitted by user Lucille)
