Meaning & origin
Demetrick is an uncommon American name that first appeared on the Social Security rolls in 1967. It reached its highest point of usage in 1978, but it has never been a popular name and remained stable in low frequency. The name does not appear in the top 1000 for any year, and it is found primarily in the 1970s decade. Its modern coinage and low usage make it a distinctive choice. As a boy's name, Demetrick has not been associated with any particular state or region.
Demetrick appears to be a modern American invention, first recorded in 1967. The name likely combines the initial syllable De- with the name Demetrius (from Greek Demetrios, 'follower of Demeter'), or possibly with the word 'metric' as a fashionable suffix. It saw peak usage in 1978 but has never entered widespread popularity. The name is almost exclusively given to boys.
