Origin:
Germanic patronymic Hrod + ric , meaning Son of
Rodrigo or Son of Rui. The "es" signifies "son of". The name Rodrigo (or the short form
Rui) is the Portuguese form of
Roderick, meaning "famous power" or "famous ruler", from the Germanic elements "hrod" (fame) and "ric" (power), from the
Proto-Germanic*Hrōþirīk(i)az. It was the name of
Roderic, the last
Visigothic King of Iberia. Not Jewish in origin but some
Sephardic Jews adopted this name.
