Gerrick

US Popularity Rank: 9697

Origin: Scottish

Meaning: Spear king; Oak tree grove; Place of roughness

Gerrick is a masculine name with the strength of a grand, ancient tree. Seemingly straightforward, Gerrick actually sprouts from several origins, and their meanings aren’t always clear. As a Scottish and English last name, Gerrick derives from the Gaelic place name Garioch, possibly meaning “place of roughness.” Brimming with nature, its French origins stem from the Occitan garric, which means “oak tree grove.” Gerrick could also come from the Germanic roots gaizaz and rīkijaz, which together mean “spear king.” Sometimes, Gerrick is interpreted as “oak spear,”—a nice touch for the little warrior druid setting out on an epic quest.
