Ruler of the people; or a variant of Derek
Daric is most commonly viewed as a modern phonetic variant of the Germanic name Derek, which is derived from Theodoric. It carries the meaning of 'ruler of the people.' Alternatively, it is sometimes associated with the daric, a gold coin used in ancient Persia, though this is a less common etymological link for the given name.
