Elrick (name)

Elrick is both a surname and a given name. Although in theory the name could derive from a number of Old English names (Æðelríc, Ælfríc, and Ealdríc), The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland concludes that it in fact derives "from one of several minor places called Elrick" in Aberdeenshire.^[1] Notable people with the name include:
