The history of the last name Ulerick

The surname Ulerick originates from England and dates back to the medieval period, with records indicating its presence as early as the 13th century. This name is believed to have originated from the Old English personal name "Ulric," which is composed of the elements "ul" meaning "wolf" and "ric" meaning "ruler" or "power."

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the surname Ulerick can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire from 1273, where it appears as "Ulrich." This document, which was a census conducted during the reign of King Edward I, provides valuable insight into the widespread use of the name in that county.

In the 14th century, the spelling "Ulerick" emerged as a variation of the name, particularly in the counties of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. This spelling is thought to have been influenced by the Scandinavian form "Ulrik," reflecting the strong Norse influence in those regions.

The Ulerick surname has been linked to several notable individuals throughout history. One such figure was Sir Walter Ulerick (1542-1616), a prominent lawyer and member of the Middle Temple in London. He served as a Member of Parliament for Taunton during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.

Another notable bearer of the Ulerick name was John Ulerick (1677-1743), a renowned clockmaker from London. His intricate timepieces were highly sought after by the aristocracy of his time, and several of his works can be found in museums today.

In the 18th century, the Ulerick surname gained further prominence with the exploits of Captain William Ulerick (1725-1795), a British naval officer who distinguished himself during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War.

The name Ulerick has also been associated with several places throughout England. For instance, the village of Ulrickby in Lincolnshire is thought to have derived its name from the Old English "Ulric's by" or "Ulric's settlement."
