Noble heritage or powerful through inheritance
Derived from the Old High German name Odalric, it combines 'odal' (heritage, estate) and 'ric' (power, ruler). It was a common name among German nobility and saints during the Middle Ages. While rare in the United States, it remains a traditional choice in German-speaking countries.
