Erec Name meanings & History

Erec is a name of Welsh origin, created from the Welsh word 'Eryri' which means 'the place of the eagles'. It is also a variation of the name Eric, which is of Scandinavian origin. The meaning of the name Erec is 'ruler or prince'. Possibly derived from the Old Breton name Guerec, which may be related to Welsh Gweir, the name of several of King Arthur's warriors and relatives in early Welsh tales. This is borne by the hero of the Arthurian romantic poem Erec and Enide by Chrétien de Troyes (completed c. 1170). This poem is thought to be the basis for the later Welsh story Geraint and Enid in the Mabinogion. The name Erec is most commonly used in Wales, but it can be found in other parts of the world.
