Meaning & origin
Varick is a rare American given name that first entered the U.S. Social Security records in 1963. It has never ranked among the top 1000 names, and its one-in-N statistic is not available due to its low occurrence. The name saw its peak usage in 2014, but since 2013 it has been on a falling trajectory. Unlike many modern coinages, Varick has a surname heritage, possibly rooted in Dutch or English origins. As of the latest year (2025), its use remains infrequent. No top states are associated with Varick, reflecting its scattered and uncommon adoption across the country.
Varick is predominantly a modern English given name, likely derived from the Dutch surname Van Varick or the English surname Warwick. The Dutch surname may originate from a place name meaning 'fortress.' In the United States, Varick gained modest use as a first name in the mid-20th century, possibly influenced by the surname of Richard Varick, an early American politician. Its use has been rare but steady, with a peak in 2014.
