Etymology of ERIC HORVITZ

The word "Eric Horvitz" does not have an etymology in the traditional sense. It appears to be a combination of two personal names, "Eric" and "Horvitz", which are of separate origins.

The name "Eric" is derived from the Old Norse name "Eiríkr", composed of the elements "ei" meaning "ever" or "always", and "ríkr" meaning "ruler" or "king". It has Scandinavian and Germanic origins and has been popularized in various cultures.

On the other hand, "Horvitz" is a surname with Jewish Ashkenazi origins.
