Eternal ruler or sole ruler
Eriq is a modern creative spelling of the Old Norse name Eric. It combines the elements 'ei', meaning ever or always, and 'rikr', meaning ruler or king. This specific spelling variation gained some visibility in the late 20th century but remains a rare alternative to the classic form.
