Noun
The Kendrick family in the UK.

Origin: In Anglo-Saxon contexts, Kendrick is believed to be a locational surname, originating from the Old English elements "cyne" (meaning "royal" or "king") and "ric" (meaning "power" or "ruler"). As a result, the name could be interpreted to mean "royal ruler" or "king's power". This would have originally been used to describe someone with high status or someone from a place associated with royalty or power.
