Eternal ruler or ever powerful
Ericka is the feminine form of Eric, derived from the Old Norse name Eiríkr. It combines the elements 'ei' meaning ever or always and 'ríkr' meaning ruler. While the 'k' spelling was popular in the late 20th century, it has become a rarer alternative to the more common Erica.
