Okay, so I got curious about the name “Dricus” – you know, like the UFC fighter Dricus du Plessis. It’s not a name you hear every day, so I wanted to find out what’s up with it.

First, I just did a quick search. Nothing fancy, just typed “dricus name meaning” into the search bar. The first few hits were all about the fighter, which wasn’t what I was after. I wanted the meaning of the name, not the person.
Digging Deeper
I started scrolling, to find some sites, not the usual big names, with some explanations.
- Some said it could come from “Hendricus,”.
- others said it’s short for “Albericus.”.
- Another thing, “Dricus” might be is a “short form” of other names.
My Conclusion (for now!)
So, basically, I figured the name “Dricus” seems most like short for “Hendricus”. It looks like an unusual, maybe older, form of a name. It’s not super common, which makes sense since I hadn’t really heard it before.
I’m still a bit curious, to see if the name pops up in any old family histories or something, but for now, that’s my little investigation into the name “Dricus”.
