Wherever they dwell and whoever they meet, your little Rennick will be a friend to all. An Old English surname, Rennick was originally a habitational name, used to describe those who lived near a “dwelling farm” or those who lived in Renwick, Cumbria, a small village in North West England. For your little social butterfly, the second possible meaning of this masculine name could be the one that resonates the most. Rennick is believed to derive from the Old English personal title Rædwine, meaning “friend in counsel.” Other sources have linked Rennick to the German word ragin, which also translates to “counsel,” so you might hear your wise owl giving lots of great advice as they grow up. Through life’s victories, challenges, and everything in between, you and your loved ones will always know you have a friend in Rennick.
