Ulrich (German pronunciation:[ˈʊl.ʁɪç]), is a German given name derived from Old High German Uodalrich, Odalric. It is composed of the elements uodal- meaning "heritage" and -rih meaning "king, ruler".[1] Attested from the 8th century as the name of Alamannic nobility, the name is popularly given from the high medieval period in reference to Saint Ulrich of Augsburg (canonized 993).
Ulrich is also a surname. It is most prevalent in Germany and has the highest density in Switzerland.[2] This last name was found in the United States in the year 1727[3] when Christof Ulrich landed in Pennsylvania.[4]
[1] Most Americans with the last name were concentrated in Pennsylvania, which was home to many German immigrant communities. Nowadays in the United States, the name is distributed largely in the Pennsylvania-Ohio region [2].
