Alaric (name)
Alaric is a masculine Germanic given name that, broken into its parts means ''Ala'' "everyone's" and ''ric'' "ruler". This has various forms in the several Germanic languages, such as ''Alareiks'' in the original Gothic and ''Alrekr'' in Old Norse. Most modern Germanic languages render it as ''Alarich'' or ''Alarik'' but ''Alaric'' is the form used in modern English, an adaptation of the Latinization (''Alaricus'') of the Gothic one—there is also the alternative Latinization ''Alarichus'' from Greek ''Ἀλάριχος'' --. In Italian, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish it is ''Alarico''. Kings There were two Visigothic kings with this name: * Alaric I, who reigned from 395–410, prominent for the Sack of Rome in 410 *Alaric II, who reigned from 485–507 There was a legendary king of Sweden named Alaric.

Masculine
Masculinity (also called manhood or manliness) is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with men and boys. Masculinity can be theoretically understood as socially constructed, and there is also evidence that some behaviors considered masculine are influenced by both cultural factors and biological factors. To what extent masculinity is biologically or socially influenced is subject to debate. It is distinct from the definition of the biological male sex, as anyone can exhibit masculine traits. Standards of masculinity vary across different cultures and historical periods. Overview Masculine qualities and roles are considered typical of, appropriate for, and expected of boys and men. Standards of manliness or masculinity vary across different cultures, subcultures, ethnic groups and historical periods. Traits traditionally viewed as masculine in Western society include strength, courage, independence, leadership, and assertiveness.Thomas, R. Murray (2001),Fe ...

Eric
The given name Eric, Erich, Erikk, Erik, Erick, or Eirik is derived from the Old Norse name ''Eiríkr'' (or ''Eríkr'' in Old East Norse due to monophthongization). The first element, ''ei-'' may be derived from the older Proto-Norse ''* aina(z)'', meaning "one, alone, unique", ''as in the form'' ''Æ∆inrikr'' explicitly, but it could also be from ''* aiwa(z)'' "everlasting, eternity", as in the Gothic form ''Euric''. The second element ''- ríkr'' stems either from Proto-Germanic ''* ríks'' "king, ruler" (cf. Gothic ''reiks'') or the therefrom derived ''* ríkijaz'' "kingly, powerful, rich, prince"; from the common Proto-Indo-European root * h₃rḗǵs. The name is thus usually taken to mean "sole ruler, autocrat" or "eternal ruler, ever powerful". ''Eric'' used in the sense of a proper noun meaning "one ruler" may be the origin of ''Eriksgata'', and if so it would have meant "one ruler's journey". The tour was the medieval Swedish king's journey, when newly elected, to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
