propn masculine consonant stem a male given name, literally ‘ruler of all’ From *ala- + *rīks, a Germanic dithematic personal name meaning ‘ruler of all’ Andersson 2003: 593, 605 Andersson 2009: 11 Schönfeld 1911: s.v. Alaricus. The name is attested in Latin as Alaricus, especially as the name of the Visigothic kings Alaric I and Alaric II; Gothic *𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐍃 (*Alareiks) is reconstructed rather than directly attested. The second element, from *rīks, was probably borrowed from Proto-Celtic *rīxs, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃rḗǵs; compare Gaulish -rix, Old Irish rí, Latin rēx, and Sanskrit राजन् Kroonen 2013: 412–13.
