The Story Behind Cedrigue
The name Cedrigue is a variant of Cerdic, which is believed to be derived from the Old Welsh name Caradog. Caradog itself means 'amiable' or 'beloved'. However, the more commonly accepted etymology for Cerdic, and by extension Cedrigue, points to a Brittonic origin related to 'car' meaning 'love' or 'dear', combined with a suffix. Another theory suggests a connection to the Germanic name 'Cerdic', which has been interpreted as 'battle leader' or 'king'. The name has a long history in Britain, particularly associated with early Anglo-Saxon royalty.
