Amick is in Origin.
Amick blends two credible etymological streams. As a surname in North America, it often reflects German/Swiss roots from Emich - frequently treated as a short form of Emmerich (from Germanic roots amal “work, vigor” + rihhi “rule, power”), yielding senses like “industrious ruler” or “power through effort.” In medieval France and Occitania, Amic/Amich appears as a given name and byname from Latin amicus “friend,” preserved in surnames that later adopted the -k spelling in English.
Today Amick is rare as a first name but fits the surname-as-given-name trend in the United States and Canada. Bearers of Emich are recorded among Rhineland nobility, while the legend of Amicus and Amelius sustained the Romance form. Variants and related forms include Amic, Amich, Emich, Emick, Emig; given-name cousins are Amias/Amice (Latin line) and Amory/Emery (Germanic line). Possible nickname: Ami.
