    Eric investigated the meaning and origin of his name. He learned from his parents that his uncle chose his first name, Eric, because it is short to balance out a long last name. Online research revealed that Eric derives from Old Norse meaning "ever ruler", which fits the moniker of the famous Viking explorer Eric the Red. Eric takes pride in the interpretation of his name.

    Eric Period 1

    Ever Leader (revised and edited)


    All names have a base or a root leading up to it, but most important, it determines who you are, so I set out to find my meaning. First, I asked my parents where my name came from, and they said that my uncle came up with the name because if you have a long last name then you dont want a long first name because that would just take up too much space. Second, I looked at some online sites, and it said that my name came from Old Norse (or Norwegian) which I found to be at least a little bit accurate since Im part Norwegian. It also said that my name translates to ei-ever and rikr-ruler, which I know worked out well for Eric the Red. Overall, I think my name is very interesting, Im proud to be called an Ever Ruler.
