Origin of the Surname ERRICK.
|
|
ERRICK.
"There is a tradition," says Dean Swift, "that the ancient family
of the Ericks or Herricks derive their lineage from Erick the Forrester, a great
commander who raised an army to oppose the invasion of William the
Conqueror." Erick is derived from ehr, German, honor, and rick,
rich—rich in honor.
