A male given name of Germanic origin, popularized throughout Europe and America.
From Germanic elements: 'frid' meaning 'peace' and 'ric' meaning 'ruler.' It became a royal name across many European countries, especially Prussia, Austria, and Denmark.
Frederick the Great of Prussia was so influential that the name became synonymous with military genius and enlightened monarchy in the 1700s—parents wanted their sons to grow up that way!
