US Popularity:10366
Origin:German
Meaning:Ruler of the people
Don’t tell baby Dirk that rules are made to be broken, as they take their laws very seriously. This German boy’s name is a short form of Diederik, the Dutch form of the Gothic moniker Theodoric. Meaning “ruler of the people,” Dirk will be a born leader. Whether that’s in the form of bossing siblings around or becoming president, that’s up to them. But be prepared. Baby will rule the roost from the moment they arrive.
