The name "Alberick" seems to have Germanic origins. The etymology of "Alberick" can be traced back to two Germanic words: "alb" and "rīhhi".
The word "alb" is derived from the Old High German term "alb", which means "elf" or "spirit". It is related to the Old English word "ǣlf" and the Old Norse word "álfr". In Germanic folklore, elves were supernatural beings often associated with magic, mischief, and nature.
The second component of the name, "rīhhi", comes from the Old High German word "rīhhi" or "rīchi", which means "king" or "ruler". This element can also be seen in the German word "reich" meaning "realm" or "empire".
