History and Origin
Cedric (French spelling: Cédric) is a male given name invented by Walter Scott in the 1819 novel Ivanhoe, based on Cerdic, the name of a 6th-century Anglo-Saxon king.
Notable people with the name include:
English: coined by Sir Walter Scott for the character Cedric of Rotherwood in Ivanhoe (1819). It seems to be a metathesized form of Cerdic, the name of the traditional founder of the kingdom of Wessex. Cerdic was a Saxon (Scott's novel also has a Saxon setting), and his name is presumably of Germanic origin, but the formation is not clear. The name has acquired something of a ‘sissy’ image, probably on account of Cedric Errol Fauntleroy, the long-haired, velvet-suited boy hero of Frances Hodgson Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy (1886).
