Ulrich

Ulrich is a German boy's given name and also a surname. The name comes from an Old German word, Uodalrich or Odalric, a combination of 'Uodal- meaning 'royal heritage' and -rich meaning 'rich', 'powerful'. Perhaps, one reason the name gained popularity was Saint Ulrich of Augsburg, famous for being one of the first people to be made a saint by the Pope. Hence, the name is most prevalent in Germany and Switzerland but gradually became a last name for an increasing number of Americans around 1840. In Czech and Slovak cultures, the name is rendered Oldřich, as Ulrik in Scandinavian cultures, Uldis in Latvia and Urh in Slovenia. Some notable personalities with the name include; Bror Ludvig Ulrich, Swedish military and colonial governor, Danish actor and director Ulrich Thomsen, best known for playing Kai Proctor in the Cinemax original series 'Banshee' and Donald Keith Ulrich, an American race car driver/owner who participated in NASCAR competitions.
