Karic is in Origin.
Karic is a modern given name that most often arises from surnames. In South Slavic contexts it corresponds to Karić, the -ić patronymic common in Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian naming, signifying "descendant of." The base Kara/Karo may reflect Ottoman Turkish kara "black, dark," a frequent Balkan nickname root, or a hypocoristic of Karlo/Karel (Charles, "free man"). As a result, Karic carries senses such as "son of Kara" or "son of Karl/Charles."
Separately, Karic can be a streamlined spelling related to the Irish–Scottish surname Carrick, from Gaelic carraig "rock," a source of many Anglo surnames-turned-first-names in recent decades. Variants and cognates include Karić, Karich, Karick, Karik, Carrick, and Karrick; a feminine South Slavic form Karica also appears. As a given name, Karic is rare before the late 20th century but fits contemporary tastes for compact, consonant-strong, cross-cultural choices.
