Jarik is Slavic in Origin.
Jarik is a Slavic-rooted given name linked to the jar- element meaning “ardent, vigorous,” and in some contexts “springtime.” It functions as a short form of compound names such as Jaroslav (jaru “fierce” + slava “glory”) and Jaromír (jar “vigour” + mír “peace”). In East Slavic languages the affectionate Ярик (Yarik) is common for Yaroslav; the Latinized Jarik reflects the same nickname tradition. As a standalone name, it carries senses like “ardent” or “fierce glory,” inherited from its longer sources.
Use as an independent given name spread beyond Slavic areas in the late twentieth century, helped by similarity to Finnish Jari and the broader appeal of brisk, two-syllable forms. Documented variants and related forms include Jarek (Polish/Czech), Yarik (Russian/Ukrainian), Jari (Finnish), Jarick/Jaryk (modern spellings), and the source names Jaroslav/Yaroslav and Jaromír/Jaromir.
