Is I THERRICK?

Herrick is a surname derived from
a first name and the ways Of SPELL
ing the name are legion. At the
present time we find Herrick. Her
rich and Herridge as forms Of the
surname. Herrick was an early speu-
ing OF the first name. In early re-
cords the family name was spelled
Hireck, Eyrick and Heyrick. e
Hererick in one Of its many forms
is found as first name among the
English at an early date, its pop-
ularity undoubtedly being due to the
fact that it signifed army ruler. It
was the name of the father-in-law
of Atherhere, king Of East Anglia in
655, and there are those who claim
that the Herricks are descended
from this father-in-law of king.
The Herricks of this country trace
back to one John Eyrick or Hev-
rick of Leicester England, who was
born in 1913. He was mayor Of
Leicester and had a son Sir william

Queen Elizabeth and must have
