Manrico

This name is of Germanic origin, composed of two elements: “*ermunaz” (strong, whole, tall, exalted, whole, great, powerful) plus “*rīkijaz” (kingly, royal, noble, mighty, distinguished, powerful, rich). In turn the name means “the one who is the head of the world”. Ermanaric († 376) was a Greuthungian Gothic King who before the Hunnic invasion evidently ruled a sizable portion of Oium, the part of Scythia inhabited by the Goths at the time.
