Derived from the Old Norse Eirìkr (eternal ruler), a compound name composed of the elements ei (ever, always) and rÃ*kr (ruler). The origin of the name is debated. Most believe in the Norse etymology, but there are some who think it comes to the Old Norse via the Germanic ehre (honor) and the Proto-Germanic rik (king), hence "honorable ruler".
