The history of the last name Edick

The surname Edick is believed to have originated in Germany, specifically in the region of Bavaria. It is thought to have derived from the Old German personal name "Ödich," which itself is a combination of the elements "aud" meaning "wealth" and "rīc" meaning "ruler."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus, a collection of historical documents from Bavaria dating back to the 9th century. In this text, there is a reference to an individual named "Oedich de Ravinespurch" from the year 892.

As the name spread and evolved over the centuries, it took on various spellings such as Ödick, Oedick, and eventually, Edick. During the Middle Ages, the name appeared in several German chronicles and records, including the Annales Fuldenses, a medieval chronicle from the Frankish Empire.

One notable bearer of the Edick surname was Johann Edick, a German theologian and philosopher who lived in the 16th century (1515-1589). He was a prominent figure in the Protestant Reformation and authored several influential works on theology and ethics.

Another historical figure with this surname was Christoph Edick (1572-1638), a German engraver and printmaker known for his intricate copperplate engravings depicting religious scenes and portraits.

In the 18th century, there was a record of a family named Edick residing in the town of Schwabach, in the Bavarian region of Germany. One member of this family, Hans Edick (1705-1778), was a respected clockmaker whose timepieces were highly sought after throughout Europe.

The name also made its way to other parts of Europe, including the Netherlands, where a Dutch merchant named Pieter Edick (1670-1745) gained prominence for his successful trading ventures in the East Indies.

In the 19th century, the Edick surname appeared in official records in the United States, likely due to immigration from German-speaking regions of Europe. One such individual was August Edick (1820-1901), a German immigrant who settled in Pennsylvania and became a prosperous farmer and landowner.
