It derives from the personal name "Thierri", which is ultimately from the ancient "Theodoric", a compound of the elements "theudo" meaning people or race, and "ric", meaning power. Theodoric was the name borne by the Ostrogothic leader (circa 454 - 526) who invaded Italy in 488, and established his capital at Ravenna in 493...Who have we missed?
