Alderico/-cus and Aldrico/-cus are the same right?

so *aldarikas in french would be: [aldry]? what would the frankish
be?--->[aldrech]?

i was also wondering about the high german one... would it be plain
[aldric]?
and the west saxon equivalent would be [ealdric]?

oh...regarding [aldrick] and [aldridge] being derived from [aelfric]
or [athelric], does this mean that english names like aldrick,
aldrich, and aldridge are not connected whatsoever to the continental
germanic [aldric] meaning 'old-king'?


regarding this, and #2 in my past post.. enlighten me please. :)

many thanks in advance
