Cedric

Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: SED-rik  

Invented by Sir Walter Scott for a character in his novel 'Ivanhoe'. Apparently he based it on the actual name Cerdic, of unknown meaning, the name of the legendary founder of the kingdom of Wessex. Cedric is also sometimes said to mean "bounty spectacle" from the Welsh name Cedrych, or "lord of wars" in Old English, but these theories are not likely true.
