Garrick (name)


Garrick is a personal name, and is both a surname and a given name.

Garrick originated in Old English and/or French. Old English garrick means "one who governs with a spear", or "spear king". In French, garric is derived from an Occitan word meaning "oak tree grove".
Garrick is also an anglicised spelling and pronunciation of the Scottish name Garrioch. This variation originated in the Aberdeenshire area Garioch.
