All are -us, the o-ending is of Spanish/Portuguese names of these kings, for example, Alarico for Alaricus (Alareiks?), Fernando for Farthinanths, Rodrigo for Hro:thareiks.

it seems there have been a lot of "king"-s then. Let's take a look. The
Gothic denomination with "-ric" are here, in the genealogical tree of
Irdanes:
-Hermanaricus , descendand from Achiulf
-Vetericus
-Eutharicus
-Athalaricus

-Theodoricus, descendant of Thiudimer (or was he from Valamir?)
-Alaricus
-Amalaricus
-Eutharico


Interesting, all the Goths which apparently "went west" begin to have an "o"
at the end of the name instead of the old "us" even if wrote in Latin, and
(coincidentaly?) after Alaric conquested Rome.
-Thiudigotho, Sigismundo, Eutharico, Herminefredo

Should it indeed be "king"? Between "Hermanaricus and Vetericus are 4 rulers
which do not have in tehir name the component "ricus" : Hermanaricus,
Gesimundus, Hunimundus rex, Thorismud, Berimud, Vetericus
