About Tjark
Tjark, a Frisian name, is a shortened form of Tjarderik, which itself derives from the Old High German name Theodoric. This name is composed of two elements: "þeudō (a people, a nation) plus rīkijaz" (kingly, royal, noble, mighty, distinguished, powerful, rich).
Theodorich translates to "a person that is distinguished and is full of strength." It is also known as Theodericus in Latin, Theodórikos (Θευδέριχος) in Greek, Þēodrīc in Old English, and Þjōðrēkr, Þīðrēkr in Old Norse.
Theoderic the Great, king of the Ostrogoths, who ruled Italy and was regent of the Visigoths, bore this name. His Gothic name, Þiudareiks, means "people-king" or "ruler of the people." He was the son of King Theodemir and was born in Pannonia after his people's victory over the Huns at the Battle of Nedao.
