Tarick is a boy’s name of Arabic origin. It’s a variant of Tariq, with other spellings including Tarik, Tareq, and Tarek. The name derives from the Arabic word tariq, meaning “striker,” used in classical Arabic to refer to a visitor at night, as they would “strike” the house door. In the Qur’an, the word is used to describe the morning star, as it comes out visiting at night. The morning star appears before sunrise, signaling the start of a new day, making this a fitting name to mark the beginning of baby’s life!
