++ Name Meanings: Cedric Diggory

[1]. Celtic, meaning "chief."

[2]. "Diggory" is possibly a nod to C.S. Lewis. In the seventh Narnia book, The Magician's Nephew, one of the main characters is a boy named Digory Kirke. On Narnia.com it is described that: "... Digory has a firm sense of right and wrong and is a very good friend to have when the going gets tough. However, he is also very strongwilled..."

[3]. Invented by Sir Walter Scott for a character in his novel 'Ivanhoe'. Apparently he based it on the actual name Cerdic, of unknown meaning, the name of the legendary founder of the kingdom of Wessex. Cedric is also sometimes said to mean "bounty spectacle" from the Welsh name Cedrych, or "lord of wars" in Old English, but these theories are not likely true.

[4]. And then there's the obvious - Diggory may be from the term Digger, (1) a person who digs; (2) A soldier from Australia or New Zealand in World War I and World War II; (3) a degrading term used to describe the California Native Americans who are known for their practice of digging roots for food.

Analysis on Character:
Although the name Cedric creates an active mind and a restless urge to explore new ideas, we emphasize that it causes a superior, interfering expression whose favorite expression is "I know." This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the solar plexus, worry, and mental tension.

As Cedric you seek change, travel, new opportunities, and new challenges. Your active, restless nature demands action and you dislike system and monotony. As you are versatile and capable, you could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks.

Having considerable vision, you could be adept at formulating new, more effective ways of doing things. You could organize the work of others, though in your impatience to see the job done efficiently, you would likely step right in and do it yourself.
