Ulrich

Ulrich (German pronunciation: [uːlʁiːx]), formerly Huldrich or Huldrych, is a Germanic name, derived from Old High German Uodalrich (uodal- meaning "heritage" and -rich meaning "powerful"). It is also common as a surname, which includes the following Germanic variants: Ahlrich, Oelrich, Ollrich, Olrich, Uler, Ulerich, Ulich, Uller, Ullerich, Uli, Ülke, Ullman, Ullrich, Ullricher, Ullrisch, Ullrych, Ulman, Ulricher, Ulrisch, Ulrych, Urich, Urys, Utz, Ützle, and Utzmann.
The surname "Ulrich", and its variants, spread across Europe during the Middle Ages. This was largely in devotion to Saint Ulrich, Bishop of Augsburg (c. 890 – 4 July 973), who twice defended Augsburg from hostile attacks by pagan Magyars. Saint Ulrich was known for his courage, high moral standard, and loyalty to Emperor Otto I ("Otto the Great"). As a result, it is not uncommon to find variants of the surname "Ulrich" (as identified below) in non-German speaking lands, including Czech Republic, England, Hungary, Italy, Poland, the Scandinavian countries, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
