Meaning & origin
Myrick is a rare given name that has appeared sporadically in the United States since it was first recorded in 1922. It has never achieved widespread popularity and does not appear in the top 1,000 names for any year. Its peak usage occurred in 2017, yet even then the number of births was negligible. Since 2017, the name's trajectory has been falling, reflecting its continued rarity. Because its occurrence is so low, no top states for usage are recorded. Myrick is a surname used as a first name, likely of Welsh origin, and may appeal to parents seeking a truly distinctive, surname-style name with Celtic roots.
Myrick is primarily a surname of Welsh origin, derived from the personal name Meurig, which itself is a Welsh form of Maurice (Latin Mauritius). The name Maurice originally meant 'dark-skinned' or 'Moorish', referring to a person from Mauritania. In English-speaking contexts, Myrick has been used as a given name, though it remains rare. It saw some use in the United States in the early 20th century and a minor peak in 2017, but its overall usage is extremely limited.
