Etymology[]
The name "Roderick" means "famous power" from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and ric "power", as well as the Old English elements "hroth" (fame) and "ric" (ruler), meaning "famous ruler". This name was in use among the Visigoths; it was borne by their last king (also known as Rodrigo), who died fighting the Muslim invaders of Spain in the 8th century. It also had cognates in Old Norse and West Germanic, and the Old English variant was therefore introduced to England by the Anglo-Saxon settlers at around the same time as the formation of England itself; it was popular with the Normans, though it died out after the Middle Ages. It was revived in the English-speaking world by Sir Walter Scott's poem 'The Vision of Don Roderick' (1811).
