It is a compound name derived from Proto-Germanic asca-, "ash," probably species of Fraxinus, meaning also "spear," and Proto-Germanic -ric < Celtic *rig-, meaning "ruler." Asca- may allude to the spear of *Wodanaz, a symbol of his inspirational power, or the name of the first man in the Germanic creation myth. -Ric was a common name suffix among early Germanic and Celtic men of status. Ascaric was used mainly by the Franks and Visigoths. It can refer to:
