Meaning & Origin

nominative/accusative/vocative plural of cedrium

Cedria is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, a feminine form of Cedric — itself an invented name by Sir Walter Scott in his 1819 novel Ivanhoe, likely inspired by the historical Saxon figure Cerdic, whose name has Old English roots possibly meaning 'generous' or from a Celtic place name root. The -ia ending gives it a Latinate, feminine grace.

Cedria carries the romantic, literary quality of a name born from fiction — rare, slightly mysterious, and full of the medieval atmosphere Scott conjured so vividly.

EtymologyShow more

Cedria appeared in SSA records in 1998, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly began breaking from generational naming patterns, experimenting with spelling, and treating naming as a form of creative self-expression. Its Latin roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.

With only 38 recorded births, Cedria has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
