Name written under the Viking context, as Erik Erik Thorvaldsson “the red” written with just a K in some books. Derived from the Old Norse name Eiríkr, that does not have a C anywhere.
Meaning "one, alone, unique", as in the form Æinrikr explicitly, but it could also be from *aiwa(z) "everlasting, eternity", as in the Gothic form Euric. The second element -ríkr stems either from Proto-Germanic *ríks "king, ruler" (cf. Gothic reiks) or the therefrom derived *ríkijaz "kingly, powerful, rich, prince"; from the common Proto-Indo-European root *h₃rḗǵs The name is thus usually taken to mean "sole ruler, autocrat" or "eternal ruler, ever powerful". As Erik or Eric sounds the same, used in the sense of a proper noun meaning "one ruler" may be the origin of Eriksgata, and if so it would have meant "one ruler's journey". The tour was the medieval Swedish king's journey, when newly elected, to seek the acceptance of peripheral provinces.
So if your name is Erik with a K, that’s the original! all others are just adaptations.

Get the Erikmug. Erik is a 35 year old sensitive soyboy. He is easily offended and triggered, emotionally unstable, and can usually be considered a danger to himself, but not to others. He desperately seeks the attention and acceptance of superior internet trolls, even though he knows his efforts are futile. When he's not being owned on Facebook, you can find him editing his Grinder Profile while polishing his dildo collection, which is a lot of polishing...
Michael: Hey Evan, why does Erik have me blocked on Facebook?
Evan: He said you kept triggering him too much Michael. He said he can't handle your trolling anymore, he said he was couldn't sleep at night because of you...
