Is the child on this death record named Christian?

This death record from Wangeritz on 20 April 1650 has a söhnlein (little son) dying. Is the son named Christian? If so, why is there an s on the end?

It is not Christian; the latter half looks like -drich. It could be Friedrich, although the "F" is a bit strange.

Note: as I remarked before, it always helps to see the whole page in order to have material for comparison.

Sorry, I will include the whole page. I’d been more confident that name was a Christian because the first letter looked like a C and there were two “I”s. It is the second to last entry on the left side of the page.

Ulrich Neitzel

Thank you. Now this degrades the resolution... but I am quite confident now that the first letter is "F". Compare with the name Jacob Filter (third entry on left side) or the first name Frantz (right side, Anno 1656).

So the name should be Friedrich.

I concur with @Ulrich Neitzel that the child's name is: Friedrich.

Thank you both. I really appreciate it.
