What Does My Name Erica Mean?

The name Erica is a name of Norse origin, meaning that it comes from the European country of Norway. It is the female form of another Norse name, Eric. It can also be spelt 'Erika', which is closer to the original Norse spelling.
In terms of the meaning of the name Erica, there are three Norse meanings to consider. The first meaning is 'forever' or 'eternal'. The second meaning is 'alone' and the third meaning is 'ruler', meaning a leader of people.
Whilst these three meanings seem to be very separate, they do have a kind of bond. A ruler is one who is at the top, overseeing all that they rule over. This is a lofty position of power and in many cases, especially in the years in which kings and queens had absolute power, their decision and their decision alone was law. Also, in cases such as the Egyptians and Norse raiding kings, certain rulers went down in history with stories being passed down through generation, making the more illustrious rulers immortal. Therefore, the name Erica implies a person who is successful in power, very individual and one who is likely to make a significant impact on those around them.
There is a Latin word 'erica' which means 'the heather plant', known for its lucky properties. Therefore we can also draw the conclusion that, in the name when it is derived from Latin, Erica can also mean one who is lucky or brings luck upon those around them. The name rocketed in popularity in the United States of America around the 1970s. This is possibly due to the character Erica Kane on popular ABC drama show 'All My Children', played by Susan Lucci. The show began in January 1970, shortly before the Erica name boom.
