Derek is a masculine given name. It is the English language short form of Diederik, the Low Franconian form of the name Theodoric. Theodoric is an old Germanic name with an original meaning of «people-ruler».

Common variants of the name are Derrek, Derick, Dereck, Derrick, and Deric. Low German and Dutch short forms of Diederik are Dik, Dirck, and Dirk.

History[edit]

The English form of the name arises in the 15th century, via import from the Low Countries. The native English (Anglo-Saxon) form of the name was Deoric or Deodric, from Old English Þēodrīc, but this name had fallen out of use in the medieval period. During the Late Middle Ages, there was intense contact between the territories adjacent to the North Sea, in particular due to the activities of the Hanseatic League. As a result, there was a lot of cross-pollination between Low German, Dutch, English, Danish and Norwegian. The given name Derk is found in records of the Low Countries from the early 14th century, and in the spelling Derck becomes rather common in name lists compiled in the Habsburg Netherlands during the early 16th century.[1] An early bearer of the name Derek was lord of Keppel, Gelderland, in the early 14th century. A Derek van Keppel, lord of Verwoelde, died in 1495 and was succeeded by his eldest son, also called Derek van Keppel. A later Derek van Keppel died in 1646, succeeded by Asewolt van Keppel, the father of Arnold van Keppel, who in 1688 was created Earl of Albemarle in the Peerage of England.[2]

    What part of speech is the word teenage?

    adjective

    Is a teenager a kid?

    A teenager, or teen, is a young person whose age falls within the range from 13–19. They are called teenagers because their age number ends with “teen”. In the United States, teenagers from the ages 13-14 go to middle school while teenagers from the ages of 14-18 typically go to high school. …

    Is 14 a bad age?

    The most dangerous age is 14. If you know any teenagers this might not come as a surprise, but research has confirmed that risk-taking peaks during this exact moment in mid-adolescence. The beginning of puberty (around 11 or 12) to the late teens/early 20s brings about a host of brain and behavioral changes.

    What do 14 year olds think about?

    Most teens experience great fluctuations in their self-esteem. They may feel good about themselves one day and feel extremely inadequate another. Although mood swings can still be common at age 14, they are usually less intense than in the past. Many 14-year-olds become more easy-going as they mature.

    What is the most difficult age for a girl?

    In fact, over half (52%) complained that their pre-teens can be more difficult than a teenager – with girls emerging as the most challenging between the ages of 8 and 12.

    What developmental stage is a 13 year old?

    Physical Development Most 13-year-old teens are dealing with the emotional and physical changes that accompany puberty. It’s normal for your teen to feel uncertain, moody, sensitive, and self-conscious at times. And during this time, it becomes more important than ever to fit in with peers.

    Is it wrong to find a 15-year-old attractive?

    Originally Answered: Is it wrong to find a 15-year-old attractive? Assuming you’re a lot older, it’s not wrong to find a 15-year old attractive if he/she looks older (which a lot of kids do nowadays) but it is very wrong to do anything about it. It’s an illusion. This person is not an adult even if they look it.

    What should a 13 year old weigh?

    The average weight for a 13-year-old boy is between 75 and 145 pounds, while the average weight for a 13-year-old girl is between 76 and 148 pounds. For boys, the 50th percentile of weight is 100 pounds. For girls, the 50th percentile is 101 pounds.
